# gen-llil.pl
# Crude program to generate a big LLiL test file to use in benchmarks
# On Windows running:
#   perl gen-llil.pl big2.txt 200 3   - produces a test file with size = 35,152,000 bytes
#                                       (lines terminated with "\r\n")
#   perl gen-llil.pl big2.txt 200 3 1 - produces a test file with size = 31,636,800 bytes
#                                       (lines terminated with "\n")
# On Unix, lines are terminated with "\n" and the file size is always 31,636,800 bytes
