L.S.,
I wrote a small program in Delphi that uses the 'nofactor' files
produced by 'decomp' as input to create a graphical image of the work
that has been performed on factoring. It creates a scalable image such
as can be found at

The .exe file for windows can be found at
http://home.planet.nl/~tha/overview.zip
it includes the Delphi 5 source files, but you can throw them away if
you don't find any use for them. To monitor the changes over a period of
time, say a week I wrote another program which highlights the changes
made between a first and second generated file, it can be found at
http://home.planet.nl/~tha/changes_overview.zip
For the first program create an input file using the command 'decomp -n
0 80000000' and then run overview in windows.
For the second program rename the input file from 'nofactor' to
'nofactor_old', create a new nofactor file with the same range and then
run factor_changes_overview.
Mail me for any questions.
YotN,
Henk Stokhorst
