Hi Bill,

You wrote to me:

BB>and 2 are prime numbers, and they don't appear in the

BB>programs are incorrect.

So why ask me? I didn't write the code!
Personally I wouldn't expect 1 to appear there as a number is prime if
only divisible by 1 and itself, making 1 a special case. 2 is also
conveniently treated as a special case, so I see no problem there
either. It's easy enough to make them both appear in the output if
needed...
