Maxima can calculate this series up to a billion or more,

I just checked pari.  It is weird junk.  C code has to be
written in a bizarre manner with their own garbage collection
functions.  As a result, there is a somewhat steep learning curve.

Ialso looked at FLINT:

https://flintlib.org/

But FLINT does not have the functions I require.

I have settled on the Perl module Math::Prime::Util::GMP:

https://manpages.org/mathprimeutilgmp/3

This seems promising.  For one thing, the input/output
is much easier to control with Perl than with Maxima.

FOSS is the greatest.  Who would ever use Microslop?
