Paul,

Notwithstanding Milton's efforts, it does seem that very little effort
is required to produce scores greater than 10. For example,
I ran 2^201+1 to 2^201+10^7-1 through Newpgen then pfgw in a couple of
hours and found a gap that scores 11+. Could I suggest to potential
contributors so Paul's soon to arrive webpage on the subject that :

1) additional criteria be added for qualification - this might
   become more evident when the first lists are available.
2) an exhaustive survey of 2^x+1 to 2^x+y-1 for 
   x >= 100 and y = 10^7, 10^8 or even 10^9.

Joe.

I make 82794/ln(10^5020+47311) about 7.163.

Well short of the 10.0 needed to get on my top-20 page. The latter,
BTW, is now under construction and I hope to make it public within a day
or two.

Paul
