FACTOR is a simple program that factors integers. To run it, just type:
factor NNNN (where NNNN is a number from 0 to 2000000000+)
or
factor (and the program will prompt you for the number to factor)
You are informed if the number is prime.
The C source code is included for those who would like to examine it. It
will compile under TURBO C++ and Power C 2.0, and likely most other ANSI-
compatible compilers. There is certainly mucho room for improvement, as this
is a very simple exercise.
The source and executable are placed in the public domain, and you may make
use of them in any lawful manner without payment, but acknowlegement would be
appreciated.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
