On the conversion of Primes between various Representations
I wrote a program called dec2bin. It takes on
stdin a decimal integer, and produces on stdout the binary
representation of said number. If you fetch the 1401-digit prime number
on Chris Caldwell's
page
, reformat it to a single line, compile dec2bin with
cc dec2bin.c -o dec2bin
and then run
% ./dec2bin < prime.txt | gunzip
you will receive for your trouble a part of the source code for
css-descramble.c.
