Tired of cutting and pasting? I wrote a tcl script called factorup that will upload your factors to the website. Give it your name, password, and point it to the sob.del or sobstatus.dat file, and it will upload the whole file.
Factorup is robust to junk characters, such as the pmin= lines. It also tests your login against the account page. Factorup assumes that you want to login and will not post factors otherwise.
You will have to wait until 3:45am to see your factors in the results.txt file. However, factorup is really just talking to the website, so the confidence is the same.
Factorup has no CLI, so please edit the script to set your name, password, filename, and batchsize. Unix users: Chmod u+x factorup.tcl, make sure the first line of the script points to tclsh, and run ./factorup.tcl Windows users: Install TCL from activestate.com, and launch the factorup.bat file
Factorup requires tcl >= 8.3. Future versions may include a cli or an exe.
I have a 400k standalone exe for windows users. It is too big to post to this forum, and it will take a couple days to find a place to post it online. Until then send a message if you want it.
Just send the program to me and I'll put it online.

Nice to see TCL is around. I had it in a lecture and wondered about its distribution rate...
