Abstract
We present a high-statistics computation of finite-temperature QCD: The effects of dynamical quarks are included by the pseudofermion method. We concentrate only on one value of the bare quark mass and try to determine the order of the transition. The metastability observed in a previous preliminary study of ours is confirmed also by this new set of data.Keywords
