Henk Stokhorst,
It is not really the OS (although UNIX does have a lot of nice tools for
this type of thing) it is wordpad that is not really the most capable text
editor.
If you are using Windows I would suggest you try TextPad which is available
for 30 day evaluation from www.textpad.com.
Hope this helps,
Andy

Subject: Mersenne: bug in Wordpad?
L.S.,
Whenever I have a large file (about 3.000 lines) with exponents to test
(extracted from the nofactor.cmp file) and replace all the 'Test=' with
'Factor=' using wordpad (part of windows accesoires) one line gets to
read 'Factorst='.
Can other people reproduce this result? What OS would you recommend for
such operations ;-)
YotN,
Henk Stokhorst
