Recompiling my Unify based accounting system was an all day job on the
Model 16s and takes about ten minutes today on a fairly slow machine
running OpenServer 5.0.6a.  The Tandy 4000 running Xenix was faster than an
NCR Tower I was using at the time.  Every new machine makes me wonder how I
lived with the older ones.
