Thank you for your assurances, David.

 > I can assure you that 1 is _not_ a prime.

    Then explain to me why a number which can be evenly divided only by
itself and one is not a prime. That is the definition of a prime is it not?

 > However, 2 is a prime so the programs need correction.

    So we actually agree.

Best wishes,
Bill.
