Re: E-Tesla6

Actually,

I would suspect Etesla-6 is being compiled with Pentium-specific options
checked.  This can make a program run a lot faster, but of course
prevent it from running on a 486 (or lower).  Probably wouldn't be worth
running it on something with less math CPU power than a Pentium.
