Oops. It's been a long day. I'm uploading the proper ones now.
Bryan wrote earlier about deleting of v17 save files when you are
double-checking and uprgade to v18. The answer is yes you will
lose your good v17 work. If you are double-checking, please wait to
upgrade. I'll release version 18.1 that will toss the old
save file only if you are testing an exponent above 4.19 million.
Scott just contacted me. To have the server redirect all v17 clients
to double-checking work, I'll need to tweak v18 a little more so that
the server can distinguish between the two clients. Thus, unless we think
of something clever a version 18.1 will be released tomorrow. Version 18.0
will work properly, but will only get double-check assignments in the
future. Looks like I panicked and rushed 18.0 out a little hastily :)

Yes, all 17.x results above ~4.2M are affected. Your double-checks
in the 2M area are just fine.

I'll fix the program as noted above to not delete double-checking save files.
There is no need to triple-check.

Scott and I will work it out and get the numbers scheduled for a retest.
Best regards,
