Re: alarm support for mingw

It seems to work for me on Vista. The first command takes about a second, the others are instant.

For anyone else testing this, the URL should be http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/windows/snapshots/gp-alarm-gitdbee21f.exe

Dear PARI developers,

I have created a GIT branch bill-win32_alarm and build
a stand-alone window binary:
http://pari/pub/pari/windows/snapshots/gp-alarm-gitdbee21f.exe
that adds support for the alarm GP function.

Please test it. You can try

alarm(1); factor(2^256+1)
alarm(5); factor(2^256+1)
alarm(1, factor(2^256+1))
alarm(5, factor(2^256+1))

Cheers,
Bill.
