There is a program on our Sun called primes which generates prime
numbers.  I've seen it around on various Unix systems for years.

Does anyone out there know the algorithm that it uses, or better yet,
where I can get the source for it?

I'd read the fine manual, but we don't seem to have one for this
program.

Thanks,

John
