The conjecture that the longest side of an integer triangle with integer
inradius n is n^4+3n^2+1 is true. The triangle has sides (n^2+2,
n^4+2n^2+1, n^4+3n^2+1). This was proved by the Germans posting the problem
as well as by Joseph Myers in a seqfan message. Therefore
%C A120062 It is conjectured that the longest possible side c of a triangle
with integer sides
and inradius n is given by A057721(n)=n^4+3*n^2+1.
should be replaced by
%C A120062 Among triangles with integer sides and inradius n, the triangle
with longest side c is given by (a,b,c) = (n^2+2,n^4+2n^2+1,n^4+3n^2+1) =
(A059100(n), A082044(n), A057721(n)).
Also, I am submitting b120062.txt including elements 1-1000.
