For those of you who are real speed-freaks, I attach a console version of the SoBSieve software. Since there is no Windoze overhead, this is about 10% faster on this NT 4 system (!).

If you run it with no SoBStatus.dat file, it will prompt for the range of p. If there is a SoBStatus.dat file present it will continue from where it left off.

If you want to use it in an unattended manner, it will go through the range then exit. To set up a range, create a SoBStatus.dat file containing two lines,

pmin=<start>
pmax=<end>

for example

pmin=100000000000
pmax=125000000000

Note that it runs at idle priority.

Regards,

Paul.
