If you are running the NAS tests from the bps script, you may tell it to keep ``-k'' the NAS directory (npb) in your log directory. This can be useful in tracking down compile errors (see the npb/make.log). HTML output files can be produced from the results files in <log directory> by executing:

# bps-html <log directory>
