If he checks in his result, primenet will return error 11 - but your computation will continue. >Or do both of our clients continue happily chugging away on it? I think prime95 removes it from worktodo.ini only if you have not started the LL test. Obviously there is some room for improvement here. The current scheme works OK for first time checks since yours would then become a valid double-check. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
