2002-11-08 Thread George Woltman
P-1 and ECM factoring is fairly complex code with several different paths based upon how much memory is available. I'd like to develop a fast QA suite for P-1 and ECM factoring. I intend to hardwire the test cases into prime95 (or read the data from a QA file) so that I can run them with several
