I have the Apache Group licensed copy of the SpecWeb96 software.  It's a
small white CD and a 33 page manual.  I'm willing to loan it to any
SF-Bay-area FreeBSD or Apache advocate for testing, as an Apache Group
thing.  I spent some time getting it to run on a Sun 8-way ES450 before
concluding it wasn't worth my time, as I was getting rather silly numbers
from it.  If someone's in the area and has the expertise/resources to give
this a good runthrough contact me.
