I've updated my web pages Yet Again, including adding some quick links
at the top of mersenne.html to the other Mersenne related files on my
web site.

The 1stfacnt.txt file is gone; I've split it into facntHU.txt (for
incompletely factored Mersennes) and facntD.txt (for completely
factored Mersennes) and the counts are no longer only for first
factors, but for second factors, third factors, etc., as well.  The
files also provide counts for all exponents, for only prime exponents,
and percentages with at least one, at least two, etc., factors out of
the exponents for which I have any data at all, rather than just
counts of factors.

There's a significant drop in the percentages of prime exponent
Mersennes with known factors for exponents above 10 million, but that
may simply be because GIMPS and Primenet factoring haven't done much
for exponents that large yet.  Comments?

All Mersenne numbers with prime exponents less than 80 million have
been trial factored to at least 2^41.  All Mersenne numbers with
exponents under 24687 have had primality checks of their cofactors.
All SPRP cofactors with less than 836 decimal digits have primality
proofs (with a few exceptions; the binary version of ECPP that I have
crashes for some numbers).
