Since I have only been around for a couple of weeks and have only completed LL testing a single exponent, I don't know what all of your procedures are. I was wondering what you do when you detect an error during double checking. Do you notify the person that sent in the erroneous result so that he can check out his computer further? It would seem that notifying people when their systems are in error would be even better than the initial self test that is run because it gives an on-going status for the computer. Thanks, Gary Edstrom P.S: I have two more results both due next Wednesday: An LL test from this desktop computer, and a double-check from my laptop. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
