Programming

The sampling algorithm was coded in the C programming language. The programs were compiled using gnu c++ compiler on a machine with dual Pentium Pro 200MHz processors running FreeBSD 3.2, and subsequently FreeBSD 3.3 (stable). Programs were tested and debugged using gdb debugger. A set of 5000 iterations of the algorithm for a single crack took 4 minutes 23 seconds.
