Mersenne: Linux error 2250 solved

1999-11-09 Thread George Woltman
Hi all, Mprime version 19.1 is now available. The only new feature of any consequence is a solution to the error 2250 some users of the staticly linked mprime suffered. The whatsnew.txt file describes the line you need to put in primenet.ini. You must create the primenet.ini file. Many thanks

Mersenne: New Mlucas binary for Alpha/Linux

1999-11-09 Thread EWMAYER
Thanks to Paul Novarese, I have a new Mlucas binary for Alpha/Linux: ftp://209.133.33.182/pub/mayer/bin/ALPHA_LINUX/Mlucas.tgz Paul pointed out to me that the old binary was not statically compiled, i.e. needed separate RTL files, in disagreement with the documentation in my README file. The cod

Mersenne: Testers needed

1999-11-09 Thread Geoffrey Faivre-Malloy
After much anticipation and delay (well, maybe not anticipated because I didn't tell many people about it), Prime95Setup is available. If you'd like to take a few minutes and help test it and make comments/suggestions, I'd appreciate it. You can download it (for now) at: http://www.mindspring.c
