   Coretest is a benchmark written by Core International to compare the 
   performance of there drives to others. It's public domain. Available
   on Dos BBS boards. Latest version is 2.7. I've tryed it on the 386  
   Tandy machines here at work and it didn't distory the operating system.
   You have to boot under dos. By the way if anyone has a Core drive that
   dosn't work I would be glad to take it off your hands.

   P.S I quote me that it won't distory your unix op system. 
       If anyone runs it please post the results along with
       system configuration and I post the results.
