Hi Cyril,
The fact that there exists a period for your procedure (whatever the
number of digits might be) is rather easy.
Indeed, say you start with a n-digit number than after just a single
step you get another n-digit number and so on. As there are only
10^n n-digit numbers you always obtain

Interesting. rpcnet.dll from the v18 distribution is much smaller than
that in the v17 distribution.

Hi all,
I''m searching a prove of a little problem.
You take a four digit number where not all digits are equal such

first place, the second at the second place etc. Then subtract the
smallest possible reoredering from the the

Who said that? Floating point maths is used extensively in 3D calculation,

With this setback, does it still make sense for machines slower than P-133
to default to double checking, or should some of them go back to initial LL
tests?

Shouldn't this be dealt with consistently?

How about this?:
If mprime finds that it needs to update itself, it downloads the new files,
