Mersenne: Mprime

[Matthew Smith]

I really want to run the Linux prime search software when I'm in Red Hat 5.2 (I'm usually in Windows 98), but the program seems to have no documentation or information once it's running.  I ran it for 4 hours once and had no idea how to close it.  I had to use "kill," the only command I could think of to close it.  When I got back to Windows, I saw that my work had not been saved.  I had set the option in Windows for disk saves every 15 minutes.  Mprime and Prime95 shared the same data files, like they are supposed to.  What's going on?  I'd vote for an mprime on an X-server.  I want to see SOMETHING while the thing's going.  At least show me the iteration #, iteration % of total, and seconds / iteration. -------------------------------------------------------------   "The brave do not fear the grave."           --Battle Square, Final Fantasy VII   ------------------------------------------------------------
