NAME
     primegaps - print large prime gaps

SYNTAX
     primegaps

DESCRIPTION
     primegaps	searches for large gaps in the sequence of primes.  The gaps be-
     tween 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and so on are 1, 2, 2, 4, and so on.

     When primegaps sees a new largest gap n, from p-n to p, it prints a line  p
     n	r  where  r is the approximate ratio between the log of n and the log of
     the log of p.
