I never posted a C code version of the sieve form.

The C code I used to post was actually mostly written by a
mathematician colleague of Odlyzko. Actually he basically wrote it
all, and I only modified it slightly, and didn't mention his name, as I
figured he didn't want to be associated with my work on Usenet!

I think someone did re-write my PrimeCountH.java program in C++, but
I'm not sure. If they did it should be posted somewhere.

If you tested that against some other method, I'd find that
interesting, so please elaborate.
