Well, I hadn't known that when I chose the number 393, which I only really chose just because 524 (the next largest number dividing 1572 equally) and 262 (the next smallest) were too big and too small respectively. Recall I asked in commit message #4/4 if anyone had figured-out yet what made 393 special. No, 393 isn't prime, but it just happens that 1572 (total number of changes) / 4 = 393, and... b$ factor $((393 + 4)) 397: 397 b$ factor $((393 - 4)) 389: 389 b$ Now, give me the rule governing that, Mike. ;-) -- This is my .signature which gets appended to the end of my messages.
