HI!
Anyone tought of send ing these P and Q once a month to the server.. in the
case where someone would abandon a quest, it could be continued by someone
else ...
>Notice that in v19 if you set it to get 10 Million range numbers you get a
warning
>about it taking a year on a 500 Mhz P-2, and odds of 1 in 250,000.
If the price would be won the split would be according to CPU cyle or CPU
time !?!?!?!

BTW for the nice Screen Saver interface I would suggest some fun GFX
(something easy to draw) from the residue of each Iteration with a Bar
decreasing with the work to do on the exponent
I don't know how the software of primenet work but When I wanted a really
fast execution I was doing like so (The last time I coded it was in 1991)
A=0
"do it"
do job on A
do job on A
do job on A
do job on A
... (as many times it's logical depend on size order)
do job on A
if A<value go "do it"
if A>value do it backward till it's OK ( if you pass straight ahead oops)
JUMP "done"
Other of my trick was to do the same
unchecked bunch of ADD then till a register create a CPU fault, trap the
fault and see were is the registers =) That was removeing all the checking
of condition till I had a fault ... saving many little cycles
These are just theory
