ABOUT THE PROGRAM
-----------------
This is the first public release of my prime number generation and analysis
program. It incorporates several personal modules developed over many years
of research into large prime numbers.

I have already done extensive testing and believe it is ready to be shared.
There are still some modules being converted, but releasing now allows me
to receive feedback and ideas for new functions.

In April 2026, a candidate number with 45,257,307 digits generated by this
program is currently undergoing a PRP (Probable Prime) test by volunteer
ryanp on the GIMPS forum using 128 threads. Result expected around May 2026.


SECURITY NOTICE
---------------
The program does NOT contain:
  - Viruses or malware of any kind
  - Malicious routines or Trojans
  - Encryption or obfuscation
  - Internet access (only the website link on screen)

If your antivirus complains, it is a FALSE POSITIVE.
Add the program folder to your antivirus exclusions list and contact your
antivirus vendor demanding an explanation for the false detection.
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM DOES NOT HAVE ANY VIRUSES.


INSTALLATION
------------
1. Create a folder anywhere on your computer.
