But what I don't understand is the concept of a "core", as in "dual
core". What implications does that have for a C program like zip?
Does it have the ability to look at the instructions ahead of time
and pipeline them or something? Pipelining is something that has
been around for a long time. Did someone just get the bright idea to
call it dual core instead or what?

Yes. I was quite amazed to see that Roberson managed to post a response
in this thread - that wasn't the usual:

Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

nonsense. He must be slipping. Clique membership possibly in doubt.
