So care for him/her and don't wake him/her up ;)

Are you aware that - for DOS and Win9x - there is a similar project,
closed-source, but free for personal use, by the German Heise publishing
company?

It's called h2bench and available at ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/,
comes with German, Dutch and English documentation.

Also, how does your software relate to ZCAV by Russell Coker?
See http://www.coker.com.au/zcav/
and http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/
