An alternative, with some more features, may be APM v2.2 (about 50KB), downloadable for free from: http://atm.idic.caos.it/files/atm22.zip - -- Bye.

Proceed carefully, because these tools can easily make everything go away.

What I experienced is a good illustration of this. I bought a flawed Intel Cape Cod motherboard with a 800 MHz PIII. This board was replaced by Intel with a new Vancouver board using the new Direct RDRAM memory (for free!). The iteration time for Prime95 was improved by 40% using the same CPU!

With the clock at 400MHz, it took about 8 hours to give an error, and when I set it to 350MHz the error occurred in I believe, 3 hours. How could this be explained? About the iMac... have anyone here run the Gimps client on an iMac? How good is its performance? (compared to an Athlon, for example) Bye. _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 21:04:50 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mersenne: Mlucas for Alpha/VMS Dear prime seekers: Thanks to Robert Deininger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, binaries of Mlucas 2.7a for Alpha/VMS are now available. Documentation and needed links are in ftp://hogranch.com/pub/mayer/README.html If you have any problems with the ftp'ed files, make sure your browser or ftp utility is using binary mode for either of the two program binaries (one tuned for alpha 21064/ev4, one for later CPUs), binary mode for the VMS_GOODIES.ZIP file, and ascii mode for the README_VMS.TXT file. Let me and Robert know if you have any other problems. As usual, thanks to John Pierce for hosting the Mlucas archive.
