CPU Tests
CPU Burn-in 1.00    The Linux version which is included in UBCD is at V1.00. V1.01 applies to Windows only.
Mersenne Prime Test 23.5.2  Need to update Mersenne Prime Test boot disk to allow user to manually override the decision (based on automatic CPU detection) to run V23/V24. The original maintainer does not have time to do this, so if you are interested to help, please contact me directly.
StressCPU   24-Oct-05   V2.0 is out, but I need someone to either update Adrian's combo Linux loader (/boot/cpustres*) or send me a new one. Please email me directly if you can help.
