PNG Prime Number Generator

A very small, program written in c that finds prime numbers up to 2^32-1
numbers long (have to wait awhile), freeware. (Just for curiosity or
academic purposes)

The faster your machine the faster it finds the primes, if anyone
decides to make a prime number generator out of assembly code for the
Mac I'd like a copy of the program for testing.

If you have suggestions, code, or other info for future development let
me know.

Next release should have an ability to output primes to a separate file.
It also looks to see if any primes turn out even, and so far out of
12,000 primes it hasn't found any.
