		----------------------------------------

 PRIMES.C
 --------
 This program computes any number of consecutive primes using an extended
sieve algorithm.  Generates up to 14 digit primes.  Typing "primes pal" will
display only palindromic primes.  Output can be redirected to a file.

 FACTOR.C
 --------
 This program factors up to 14 digit numbers into their prime factors.  Works
with any integer.  The command line may contain integers to factor, otherwise
the program prompts you for integers to factor.  This new version tests for
perfect numbers and displays other information about the number.

 AROUND.C
 --------
 This program displays the prime factors of the 21 integers closest to and
including the specified number.  A number or number range may be specified on
the command line.

 SUMSQ.C
 -------
 This program finds the minimum number of positive integers that when squared
and added together, equal the given number.  There is a proof that no more
than 4 squares summed together are required to represent any positive
integer.  The command line may contain integers to find the squares of,
otherwise the program counts up from 0.  If the number of squares is 2 or
less, this program displays all possible combinations, otherwise it just
displays the first combination it finds.
