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.

Is it (at least) theoretically possible that some larger factors are

I dont think this is a problem. Limits in the RNG would only mean
problems if it causes
Hi,
linux users should have no problem automatically starting mprime with
a delay. Just stick sleep n in front of whatever command you
use to start mprime; this will cause a delay of n seconds before
mprime starts up.
For Windows users (Win 9x/ME/NT/2000), I have written a small program
Prime95 Wishlist:
Add a time stamp to each line of Prime95's output.
I've recently had a problem where another app was running away
and using all the extra cycles and Prime95 didn't appear to
getting ANY. Normally if things are busy the iteration time
goes up; in my case since Prime wasn't
