Since they're identical, they OUGHT to be equivalent. The first example
was supposed to use CACHE, like this:


<Input and transformations>
CACHE.
<procedure>.

is approximately equivalent to

<Input and transformations>
XSAVE <output file>.
<procedure>.
GET FILE <output file>.

It is correct, as I stated, that
