It probably doesn't matter much, but I put in the maximum number of digits in a group, and put checks next to "Verbose mode" & "Use Cunningham tables on server."
(10^499)^2+(10^499)+41 uses (n^2+n+41).
(((10^11-1)/9)*10^20+111*10^14)*(10^(13*20)-1)/((10^20-1)/1)+((10^11-1)/9) is a palindrome.
(10^1031-1)/9 is a repunit and wasn't discovered by Matt.

You can't use decimal points or commas in any of the programs I've used.
OpenPFGW: Sourceforge.net (Last updated on March 25, 2013.) or Yahoo Group.
PrimeForm: (Normally not used anymore).
Alpertron Elliptical Curve Method Factorization Applet: It tests for factors of numbers up to 9,332 digits. You need Java and Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome from CNET. For some reason, The ECM Applet doesn't always work in Internet Explorer.
NewPGen: (Sieve of Erastostheses).
Proth: I don't use it much, but I understand that it's used to find Generalized Fermats. There are more Generalized Fermats than any type on Chris Caldwell's Top 5000 Lists.
PRIMO: The Windows version is no longer updated.
You might check out MATlab, Mathematica, and Wolfram Alpha, but I don't know very much about them.
...and if there are any that I'm forgetting.
There are also programs that aren't released to the public.

The largest randomly generated prime is 26,642 digits. I don't believe in psychics. Find a randomly generated number with at least 26,642 digits from Psychic Science. My video from : to : shows how to eliminate the spaces.
Copy and paste the number and we'll call it randonly_generated_number. This is what you need to type in worktodo.txt:
|
ABC2 2*$a+1+randonly_generated_number a: from 0 to 400000000 |
|
ABC2 1*$a+1+randonly_generated_number a: from 0 to 400000000 step 2 |

If you like Astronomy, Math, and Computers, then watch The Antikythera Mechanism on NOVA on April 3, 2013.
Update on April 5, 2013: I watched The Ancient Computer episode of NOVA (With the full video now at the above link) and it’s excellent. They talked about the robotic arms that The Romans believed Archimedes used to pull ships from the water. I had heard of these robotic arms by Archimedes 2 times before, but what I had heard earlier was that they were propaganda by the Romans to make Archimedes look crazy or malicious. That’s why I said in slides 9 and 10 of my presentation that the 206,545-digit number could have been propaganda by The Romans to make him look crazy.
