(** Moderator's note: For anyone who has either a Cyrix-made or
IBM-made 6x86 CPU in their machine, there's an OS/2 configuration
program to let you get the best performance out of your chip. It's
recently been updated. **)

I've updated Koen Gadeyne's set6x86 Cyrix/IBM 6x86 CPU configuration
utility to version 1.5.  New in version 1.5 (previous OS/2 port was
1.3) is the reg_6x86.exe utility, which does a register dump to the
screen of the current state of the CPU in human-readable format and
will also correctly identify the 6x86 model and revision, report
bogoMIPS ratings, and dump the more complex ARRs (Address Region
Registers).

Also new in this version are 6x86/6x86L and 6x86MX specific version
of the optimization .cmd files.  These files also now set the NO_LOCK
register, which is a fix for the "coma" bug in the 6x86/L/MX.  See
the included README for more info.

The file is now located in the incoming directory at Hobbes, but
should be archived as:
