Hi Scott, with all due respect for your PIC
expertise, you have replaced 2 bulletproof and
simple tests with 7 slightly confusing asm
instructions. I can happily code my tests in PIC
asm, but the simplicity of branching in a "higher"
language has something going for it.

And I wish I knew what the heck "Mersenne Primes"
meant!:o)
