NAME
       matho-sumsq - Find the minimum sum of the squares for integers

SYNOPSIS
       matho-sumsq [numbers]

DESCRIPTION
       This  command-line  utility  is	optionally  part of the mathomatic(1) package.	It finds the minimum number of positive integers that when
       squared and added together, equal the given number.  There is a proof that no more than 4 squares summed together are required to represent
       any positive integer.

       The  command-line  may contain positive integers to find the minimum squares of, they must be less than 2147483648 (2^31) on 32-bit systems
       or less than 9223372036854775808 (2^63) on 64-bit systems.  If "+" is appended to the given number, the program counts up  from	the  given
       number.	If the minimum number of squares is 2, this program displays all possible combinations with 2 squares for the given number, other-
       wise it just displays the first combination it finds.

       If no command-line arguments are given, the programs reads the numbers from standard input.
