Windows Fermat Source Code (original) (raw)

This is the source code for the old, now obsolete, Windows version of Fermat. (Obsolete as of November 10, 2011.) It is in Pascal. copyright Robert H. Lewis, 1995 - 2010.

(The new Windows version is in C. See here.)

This one has been compiled with Code Warrior on a Mac and runs on Windows PCs. See this page to download the executable file and various auxiliary files.

The download contains the Code Warrior makefile, the three files of the Pascal source, and various support files. The source is fairly well documented. If someone wants to develop this farther, I will give them what help time allows. It should not be too hard to convert it to Delphi. Please send me any source code you produce.

Development on this code ceased in 2006. Since then there have been a few bug fixes. The Linux, Mac, and new Windows versions have a much more developed source code, in C, that has much more sophisticated polynomial gcd algorithms and some newer features.
