                     10: DESCRIPTION    When factor is invoked, it types
                     11: out "Enter:" at you.  If you type in a positive
                     12: number less than 2^56 (about 7.2E16), it will repeat the number
                     13: back at you and then its prime factors each one printed
                     14: the proper number of times.  Then it says "Enter:" again.
                     15: To exit, feed it an EOT or a delete.
                     16: .sp
                     17: Maximum time to factor is proportional to sqrt(n) and occurs
                     18: when n is prime.  It takes 1 minute to factor a prime near 10^13.
