Just add a line to the worktodo.ini file (or make it if you haven't started
the GIMPS client yet) that reads:
Test=8410531,63
A doublecheck would look like:
DoubleCheck=exponent,factoredbits
That's all. The 8410531 is the exponent to test, and the 63 is how many
bits it's already been factored to. That particular exponent would now be
factored to 64 bits under the v19 client, so if you update the client to
that version, expect it to factor up to 64 bits before starting on the LL
test.
I guess we'll really see how well v19 is doing. I just switched my machines
over (most of 'em anyway) to v19, all running the NT service version.
Tomorrow I'll try updating the Win98 machines I have with the new prime95.
Harder to do that since I can't do it remotely as easily as with NT boxes.
Someday, Windows 95/98 will be gone and my life will be easier.
So far, all are working well. And I've got about 7 boxes running Windows
2000 of various builds. Some Beta 3, some RC1 and some RC2. A couple
Advanced Server and others are Win2K Professional. All are running v19 just
fine (and were running v18 just fine also).
