I just found a small buglet the the extract program from the mers
package (notice the "will complete in..." line!):
per120:~/mers 13> extract t4609673 c4609673
t4609673: exponent 4609673 FFT length 262144 iteration 4600003 (binary)
c4609673: exponent 4609673 FFT length 262144 iteration 4605003 (binary)
Exponent 4609673 will complete in roughly -1 minutes a second or so
at about Tue Nov 16 08:01:09 1999
per120:~/mers 14> ls -l ?4609673
-rw-rw-r-- 1 simonb admin 2097176 Nov 16 07:29 c4609673
-rw-rw-r-- 1 simonb admin 2097176 Nov 16 06:55 t4609673
and the expontents finished by the time I looked again...
Simon.
