Mersenne: P-1 factorers
Are there any programs available (preferably PC) for P-1 factoring that work with arbitary numbers rather than only specific types (such as the Mersenne programs)? Andrew Walker

If you are familiar with compiling and linking C program, you can use Richard Crandall's large integer package which includes first stage implementations of p-1 and ECM.
