What about using prime95 v25.9 instead of llr? The latest 64 bit version is quicker. How do I set up worktodo.txt? Is it possible?

EDIT: SOB is using the client so it is possible.

What command can you use to do a primality check on a Riesel Number? I know of the following PRP command, which is the only way I know of to do a test of any number besides a Mersenne number.

Code:

11) Program can now do PRP tests of (k*b^n+c)/f.  Add a line worktodo.txt that
    looks like this:
        PRP=k,b,n,c[,how_far_factored,tests_saved][,known_factors]
    The optional how_far_factored (in bits) and tests_saved values are used
    to determine if P-1 factoring prior to the PRP test would be beneficial.
    The optional known_factors list is a quoted comma separated list of
    known factors of k*b^n+c.

Is there anything else, or do you just use that. Or is Prime95 really running a primality test and only saying you've got a PRP.
