In this day and age of so much 64bit goodness and so many multi-cored systems available, shouldn't it be something more like: GOMAXPROCS=`hoc -e '2^32'` sieve let alone `hoc -e '2^64' Then again, if my hoc were arbitrarily clean enough, it should return a valid result for: % hoc -e '2^2^2^2^2' hoc: exponentiation result out of range in -e near line 2 (the Plan 9 error code is 'hoc: exponentiation result out of range near line 2') I want my BigEnough numbers for those times when enough just isn't enough. Hrm... maybe it's time for a hoc.go or an apc.go implementation. -jas
