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.
