Hi, all. I'm trying to get pfgw up and running under Fedora Core 2. So far, two tries and two brick walls. Well, actually, 3 if you count the fact that when I...

I have commented offlist with Mike about this. Yes, the 1.2 version has a 60000 char limit for ABC files (the dev version kicks this up a little). Also, in...

Jim, I've been trying to contact you via e-mail, but it appears that you are not getting e-mails from me. Simply put, I know that you have been PRP testing...
How does pfgw evaluates phi(x,y)? I found this number to be a PrP, but can't write it in a more palatable way: Primality testing phi(30,2^4200+13) [N-1/N+1,...

A beautifull day, Is there a date for the next release of openpfgw 1.3 . It would be nice, if someone knows it. Best regards from the primes Bernhard...
I believe there is a problem with writing exceptionally long pfgw.log files. I am using the command line pfgw -b107 xxx.inp with an input file coming from...
OpenPFGW (win32) uses FILE structures, which under VC (and MinGW), uses a 32 bit max sized file. I would assume that 70m values in the pfgw.log file pushed...
Thanks Jim. I understand that there are several ways round this. However... This problem came upon me unawares, and could do the same to anyone at any time. A...
hello, I have been following this thread about the log file of pfgw being too large. I use cygwin to run pfgw and I can manipulate files that are larger than...
Hello Mike, ... What do you mean by "quarantineing" the files? What kind of filesystem do you use on your disk, by the way (FAT32? NTFS?) ? Have you tried to...

This "bug" is most likely compounded due to the fseek in PFGW. However, step back for a second. First off, why are you using PFGW to PRP test a*71#+1 ?? PFGW...
