A similar request on anyone with version A & C HP 42Ss.

Okay, I have entered your program on a Version C machine. I double & triple checked the code enter to make sure it matches your posted listing. I have printed it out and then checked the printout line by line with your listing. So I'm pretty sure it is entered correctly. Unfortunately, it does not seem to end - I've let it run for over 30 minutes with so solution.

Maybe I'm not initializing the program correctly.

I do the following:
enter 11,111,111,111 into the X register.
enter "seed"
(11,111,111,111 is still in the X register
I then do XEQ "POBR"

It then runs, but doesn't seem to end.

Am I'm doing something wrong? Is there something I should initialize or do?

I have checked against the programmes as stored in my HP 42S & the coding is identical - my calculators produce correct factorizations.

I believe post # 36 indicates that the posted programmes are written correctly.

Please check your coding again, as errors do occur - see my previous post & the initial posting on this matter.
