well - i may not use MUL - i will probably use the extended addressing modes   :P

for now, i am just writing a test to 8,589,934,591 so i can compare it with Eratosthenes odd-bit
with a little luck, i can develop a theorem to eliminate mod-7's
then, i can use an "Atkin-like" method to create a new "Sheldon-Atkin-Bernstein" sieve

Hi Bit Coders:

Some times it's quicker to tick off a byte or word than a bit and
yes you are wasting mwmory like a pig? Some of the bit manipulation
instructions are  quite large.
Bit manipulation is not always faster.
