- This is a prime number generator that I wrote in c and compiled for
- OS/2 using GNU gcc. You may need the EMX dll's to run this. To
- run it, type 'pr' and enter an integer value to start calculating primes
- from. The algorythm uses 32-bit integers as the data type, so the
- starting value should be less than 2^32 (about 4.2 billion) . On slower
- machines there may be a delay before getting the "point> " prompt
- while it initializes its tables. If you have questions comments or
- are interested in the source, contact me at:

- Multiple precision integers would be nice, so they may find their
- way into a next version; but on machines with 80 bit integers it
- starts to slow down, so it may not be worth it. Anyway, hope
- you have fun with it.

- Oh yea, I don't care what you do with this program, so long as
- I don't get in trouble for it.
