-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Brian,
Thanks for your quick response about my prime95 problem at p, q, and r files. I still have a few questions though... Brian J.

It's been about a day since my "incident". I made a lot of free space available yesterday. I see both qXxxxxxx and pXxxxxxx files, but still no rXxxxxxx. Should it reappear? With my settings, both files are updated every 30 minutes or so. Searching the archives earlier, this is the first clear response I've seen. Obviously, since I wouldn't be asking again :) Thanks Brian for clearing up the matter! - -- Robin Y. Millette (aka Lord D.
