- After several mail with Dirk, I think I reached my own limit. I decided to
- include the sources. I won't try to improve them, because I don't know how.
-
- I will be interested if someone else could succeed.
-
- Thanks to Dirk Held.

- (The Fastest Sieve Program :)
-
- On my system (A4k40+FPU+MMU,25 MHz, 16 MB RAM) it tests primes upto
-
- 240.000.000 in 234 seconds
- 10.000.000 in LESS than 10 seconds,
- 1.000.000 in 0.8 second
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Usage: Primes NUMBER/N DISPLAY/S TEST/S
-
- DISPLAY : Display all the primes until NUMBER
-
- TEST : FAST Prime test for NUMBER

- YAcalcPrimes is completely written in Amiga C. The amiga version is
- compiled with SAS/C 6.57. This Program runs on every Amiga with Kick 2.0
-
- It is strictly ALLOWED to produce any YASieve-like program without my
- permission :). (But who really cares about it ? Proggis like these are`n
- usefull to factorise LARGE numbers (i.e. 100 or more digits), so why
- bother. Try KillPrime on Aminet instead.
