Thanks, I stand corrected. As I said, I really don't understand at a
basic level how it works. These factoring projects are, to me, an
interesting sociological experiment. Of course, to do this correctly,
you need software that is easy to use. :-)
So, the ability to run a program in such a fashion that as much is
automated as possible is a "Good Thing{tm}".
