[reposted to sci.crypt for a bigger audience, see *]

I've started the new libtommath manual and I will phase out the
older "bn.tex" manual for the v0.17 release. I would appreciate
assistance editing this manual [and the libtomcrypt manual] after the
release.

New and shiny features of the v0.17 manual

1. Written in book format, little more presentable
2. Will be divied up more succinctly into chapters
3. Will sport working example source code snippets
4. Will be more comprehensive.

Obviously this is not a one shot effort. I expect to refine the
manual for quite some time to come.

As for the assistance, I'd like people to read through the manuals
[note: people could start with the libtomcrypt one] and just jot down
the location of passages that don't quite read well, make sense or
are not complete enough.

I'm not asking for people to re-write the things for me, just give
the texts a good read-through. I'll give credit for all suggestions
sent in.

Thanks,
Tom

[*] People have noted their distain for me posting news about my libs to
usenet. To them I say hundreds of downloads and 18,000 hits in three weeks
can't be wrong. I give out the projects for free and when I occasionally do
ask for help I really don't feel like I'm abusing usenet.
