	title={Breeding amicable numbers in abundance. {II}},
	abstract={In a first article of this title, new procedures were described to compute
		many amicable numbers by ``breeding'' them in several generations. An extensive
		computer search was later performed (in 1988), and demonstrated the remarkable
		effectiveness of this breeding method: the number of known amicable pairs
		was easily quadrupled by this search. As we learnt recently (1999) from
		the internet, Pederson and te Riele have again multiplied that number roughly
		by ten. While they give no information on their method of search, we publish
		here our method and summarize the computations. Our results provide some
		evidence for the conjecture that the number of amicable pairs is infinite.
