I never said that the tests run by Mark were done on an emulated environment.  Don't infer things that are not there.

What I suggested was that it would be interesting to see what the use of his "new" option would show on an emulated system.  No mention of anything other than that.  I still think it would be interesting to see if the correlation of "real" to emulated holds using Mark's test when compared to using the original VUPS procedure.
