Thank you shadowsong. I tried this on my batch, but it did not terminate after 1 day, suggesting a massive loss of efficiency (it should have completed in 30 minutes). Also some of my results have NaN, so I will have to look into that. But I can confirm the program did not crash!	[reply]

hmm, the NaN problem is a known problem when running Strawberry Perl sadly with this particular package - related to the log function	[reply]

robert44444uk, No problem. I had another crack at it using what I thought would entail slightly less overhead: Read more... see code (2 kB) However, it performed just as bad as your attempts using `next_prime` and `prev_prime` if not worse... We'd be very keen to see how/if you managed to get your script to perform better. Best of luck (and God speed) shadowsong	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you Shadowsong. I have had to concentrate on work this last week. When this settles down I will have another go at this program.	[reply]
