They'll be P-1 save files. > There's been a database > sync so I don't have results for 14013037 (assuming E=14, F=15) on my page. > Where would I check to see that all these exponents had been completed so > I could delete these old files? They've probably had a first time test, but are unlikely to have been DCed. The file ftp://mersenne.org/lucas_v.zip will tell you, but I don't one which is up-to-date, and it's a multimegabyte download. I do have the the latest pminus1.txt file, though, and these exponents aren't listed. > What happened that these files were left around a year ago? They shouldn't have an extension, so I'm gessing. Backup and restore? Recovered from a damaged filesystem? My recommendation would be to complete the P-1 as though they were DCs. Just remove the extensions and put Pfactor=exponent,66,1 into your P-1 factory's worktodo file. > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] - HMC UNIX Systems Manager _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
