I'm currently editing this sequence. What I have so far is:

%N A144925 Number of nontrivial divisors of the nth composite number.
%C A144925 1 and the number itself are excluded as divisors.

Edited and extended by [me].
I'm concerned about that "numcompz" (the %p line). This occurs in 3
different places in the current version; and if the comment about it
being a Maxima statement function is correct, none of these is the
right place.
But more seriously, it doesn't appear to be correct. I don't really
know either Maxima or Maple, so I don't know for sure what it does
there; but what it appears to do is nonsense. I can't make any sense
out of any interpretation of it I can think of, either.
Can anyone make sense of this? If not, I'm going to delete it.
I also wonder about the link to Huen's home page. I don't see anything
relevant there.
