Accelerate Factor 2.0 by Kevin M. (yellowspark221@netscape.net) --------------------------------------------------- Who said you couldn't use Mirage OS for math programs? Accelerate Factor 2.0 is a fast ASM program that will give you the factors of just about any positive number (to the limits of the calculator itself: it might give you an overflow message). The results are stored in a list for easy access and manipulation. If any program you have beats this program in terms of speed, let me know and I'll find a way to make this program faster (or just as fast) :) Installation: 1. Transfer the file ACCLFACT.8xp to your calc. 2. Run Mirage OS and choose Accelerate Factor 2.0 Note: If you ever need to stop the factoring process, hit the DEL key. A confirmation message will show up. Hit CLEAR to truly quit to ION or hit ENTER if you want to continue factoring. Legal issues-Disclaimer: I, Kevin M., will take no responsibility or blame whatsoever for whatever happens to your calculator or any one of your possessions! You cannot blame me for any problems you encounter (please let me know though, so I can fix them)! Use this program at your own risk. Known Issues: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER A NUMBER GREATER THAN 1E27 (10000000000000000000000000000)! AN OVERFLOW ERROR WILL OCCUR AND THE CALCULATOR MAY CRASH!! Yes, I will fix this issue soon by limiting the size of the number inputted. The factoring process will halt once 999 factors have been stored. An error will show up and the program will stop running. No significant problems were seen after the program stopped. Yes, I will fix this issue soon too. Comments/Questions/Bugs? Let me know as soon as possible at yellowspark221@netscape.net Version history: 0.1 My first "ASM" program. Barely worked--only asked for the number to factor. 1.0 Factors numbers with less than 256 factors correctly. Crashed but did not appear to damage RAM or archive if number of factors was greater than 255. 2.0 Factors numbers with less than 1000 factors correctly.
