project out of work?

[zombie67]

No work?

[James Wanless]

I'll have to see if I want to take it forward.
I still think it's an incredible piece of kit, but it was starting to
feel like a job, and an unpaid one at that.
Also I was beginning to wonder if I was wasting people's time in terms
of the algorithm.
I am now conducting some more tests on that to reassure myself.

Looks like you got things rolling again. Glad to see it.

This is the current state-of-play regarding those extra tests I
mentioned. I am currently pursuing P4253 in the hope of finding its 14-
digit factor(s), ideally fairly soon. But anyway, here are the results
I have so far (and on which I base/d my promising outlook). If anyone
wants to repeat them/extend them, I'm posting the source of the C file
I used (as a file) (factorize2.c). It needs to be compiled with -lgmp

Mind you, the world would be a better place if money were illegal!

D'oh!! I've just noticed/I think my indices in all the below are off
by one :( - but maybe you'd all worked that out already?! [so due to
this rather careless programming error, the exact values of a are all
one step of 2p too high] [so better to use factorize6 perhaps, where
I _did_ get this detail right] It's a fairly trivial point, but may
have caused some confusion if you were checking my results in other
math programs/packages...
