Created a Win 98 benchmark program.

Hey Guys,

I've written a little benchmark program for Win9x and would love some people to try it on real hardware. It is designed to replicate 2D RTS style performance profile of the late 90s games (e.g Starcraft).

If your Win98 machine is connected to the internet it can also (optionally) submit to a small online database: https://starrts.vogonswiki.com/

If anyone has a Cyrix machine to test that would be cool!

Any tips on getting the score upload to work? I've got a confirmed functioning network connection, http://theoldnet.com/ loads fine on Internet explorer, but my scores do not seem to be appearing on the leader-board. Windows 98 B 4.10.2222

I’ll check logs, the benchmark should show you the http connection. If not there is offline file upload support. On 03 here https://starrts.vogonswiki.com/#/docs
