Generating Highly Composite Numbers
This program is my third adaptation of generate_hcn.py by dario2994

My intent was to create a compiled version of this program that was faster at
generating highly composite numbers. In order to handle large numbers in Win32
Delphi, I used DelphiBigNumbers units, unit names prefixed with Velthuis,

This attempt was successful but only up to 10^10. Larger HCN numbers were
generated faster by the python version.
