Hence the target platform for my tests will be a Macintosh/604. Since this is a benchmark, there will be a lot of scaffolding and administrative code surrounding the C code that needs to be measured, i.e., generating test datasets, tracking the performance of the core code, etc. This will undoubtedly be easier in a HOL like OCaml. Before I get too far along I want to ask any who might know, whether or not the Mac version of OCaml can interface to foreign C code produced by the Metrowerks C compiler. When I last used the Mac version (c.a., 2.02) it was still interpreted instead of compiled, and I don't recall whether it could be interfaced to foreign code. Thanks for your help! - David McClain
