								  General
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

CalcPRIMES is a very fast prime computer. It calcs on my system  (A4000/030
@  25)  primes  from  2  to  1.000.000  in less than 3.5 seconds. If you've
written some faster please lemme know.

CalcPRIMES is completely written in  *pure*  C++.  That  why  it's  options
parsing had to be made unix-like ("CalcPRIMES -h" for help), sorry.

								   Amiga
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The amiga version is compiled with SAS/C 6.57 (68000, math=IEEE). Since the
SAS/C  just features a C++ to C translator the executable is very large and
may be much slower than possible.

Just the most important changes I remember. This  ain't  really  a  history
log.

1.0: · undocumentated
1.1: · undocumentated
1.2: · undocumentated
1.3: · should no more crash when calculating primes far to over 1000000.
	   The range is now only limited by the size of unsigned long and the
	   memory available.
	 · Shows how much mem is needed.
1.4: speed increase (5%)
1.5: speed increase (22%)

I'm interested in how fast CalcPRIMES run on your enviroment  in  order  to
create a benchmark.

If you wanna help me, please gimme the following information (provided that
you are running AmigaOS 3.1):

1) Seconds to calc to 10.000, 100.000, 1.000.000,  10.000.000,  100.000.000
   and so on (RAM depending).

2) Your CPU and FPU, their speed in MHz and if you've  a  turbo  board  its
   manufacturer and name , e.g.

   Manufacturer: phase5
   Name:         CyberStorm '060
   CPU:          68060 @ 50 MHz
   FPU:          68882 @ 50 MHz
