The mormons seem to be running on a supercomputer of some kind. They have few members, and one member has done over 1000 units so far.

I've only completed one unit, but I'm losing time because I'm getting a bug that the program is looking for a text file and can't find it. This is on my PII 233/64 machine at home, running the initial release of Win95
