My old sieve algortihm was a bit simpler, (out of need in 4x BASIC); and never bothered changing it. You can throw out the array eliminating one loop, and if it passes the test just print it to the screen and (nowdays, a file). I can sub,it the code in GW-Basic format, but you might choke on the line numbers. My interest was peaked by purchase of a new small computer kit here in Australia (http://www.geoffg.net/maximite.html). Then I decided to download VS2010 Express to play, after discovering it's decimal data type can handle MUCH larger numbers. Now I have to learn VB.
