WinTach v1.0
Applications Oriented Benchmark for Microsoft Windows
March 30, 1992
WINTACH OVERVIEW
----------------
WinTach is a Microsoft Window's 3.1 based benchmark program which provides a
tool for estimating how Windows 3.1 applications will run on your system.
Note that WinTach requires Windows 3.1 in order to run. It will not run
under Windows 3.0!
WinTach tests the most important Windows 3.1 API calls as determined by
extensive profiling of commercial application sessions. It encapsulates
these API calls with realistic program logic to accurately simulate the type
of graphics intensive application sessions encountered in today's work place.
The results are evaluated and displayed as the RPM, or Relative Performance
Measurement, which estimates the performance of your Windows workstation
running real applications.
WinTach may be freely copied and distributed with all files intact and
unmodified.
