	How can I run on the graphics card Genefer for n=15,16,17,18,19/ For 17, we have an agreement not to search those numbers and to leave them to one of the writers of the original software that was used. There's nothing to stop you from searching that range if you wish using either the geneferocl or genefercuda programs. For 15, 16, and 18 all numbers that can be searched by the GPU have already been searched. We're still searching 19 on the GPU, but we're close to the limit that can be done on the GPU. For at least a little while longer, you can run n=19 on PRPNet. Look in the PRPNet Forum for instructions and software, etc. Downloading the PRPNet package is also the easiest way to get all the software. If you're asking how to use the geneferocl/genefercuda programs, running the programs without command line arguments should give you a list of all the parameters. You can give genefer a single number to test on the command line, or you can give it a file name containing a list of numbers to test. ____________ My lucky number is 75898524288+1

	I see what user with nick (SEARCHER) found is 7528624^32768+1. 32768 (n=15) is searched on the CPU. It was beyond the range of the GPU program before the GPU app was even written. ____________ My lucky number is 75898524288+1
