    Yes, but with the Optimizer, they provide a source code SEIVE.P (integer 
calculations about prime numbers) that really runs faster when optimized.
    I tried with a similar program looking for "perfect numbers" (as 6 
because divisors of 6 are 1, 2 and 3 and 1+2+3=6). It runs at the same speed 
compiled or optimized. I was expecting a better result looking at their 
example.
    Or... as I am a new Pascal User, it's possible that my code is really 
too bad...
