Hi Anton,
<<Anton>>
Are you saying that you implemented the algorithm
in rebol? If so, that's pretty clever.

Not exactly. I tried to simulate only the While part of the algorithm. I
don't know the Fast Fourier
Multiplication the article mentioned (though a slower version can be
implemented without it). Moreover, the
algorithm looks impractical for Rebol - see the number mentioned - and
that number is only a lower bound! A more realistic lower bound estimate is:
4,29e9.
-L
