Instead of a boring status bar, how about a graphic of a
caterpillar gnawing away on a leaf? It starts out as a full
leaf and disappears as the little beastie devours his sustenance.
Have an outline of the original leaf for size comparison.
That would be cool: have it turn into a butterfly at the

Win32Forth can be compiled either way. Here's some of the code from FLOAT.F:

After longer-than-expected delay my program is now ready.
You can download 'MFAC' from

and e-mail me for a range.
MFAC searches for divisors of double-Mersenne numbers M_M_e =
2^(2^e-1) - 1 for not-too-large exponents e. (It can also look

Sun Users,
I tried the Mlucas_2.7x compiled with Sun's f90 version 2 and compared
this against MacLucasUNIX v6.20. On the two ranges of exponents I tried
Mlucas was about 15% slower than MacLucasUNIX, using 256k and 512K
FFTs. Currently I'm double checking some exponents around 4,100,000 and
