While we're on the subject, can someone explain how to derive the group
order for factors found using ECM? I've been carrying out ECM on an old PC
for almost a year now, and I'd like to be able to derive, and factorise,
the group orders for the factors that I've found.
I've been making an effort
Is it (at least) theoretically possible that some larger factors are
unfindable with ECM due to the limited number of sigma producable by
George's random number generator?

It would be nice to find another soon. But
For those who are interested, Yves Gallot has released Proth 6.6,
which has great speed-ups for some architectures.
