Thank you all for the constructive comments

I have decided to give sci.crypt a miss for a while due to my inability to
make the jump from A-Z without knowing steps B-Y first as most people who
reply to my posts expect. For this I am called a troll. I have done plenty
of research and read plenty of things people have written from both
established cryptographers and from people who are relatively unheard of and
will continue to research and read more. I find the documents from the
obscure people easier to read because they are less mathematical in their
descriptions of various methods and modes, and go through algorithms on a
step by step basis in plain english. I thank you Rossum for your most recent
reply to my latest post, they are always of more use to me than other
replies, and have taken what you have said abut how i was calculating the IV
into account in my redesign of the calculation of the IV. I have essentially
given up on coding to any particular standard method or mode, if I happen to
stumble upon one then yay for me. I had a message that was intended for
Rossum alone but the reply to address doesn't exist. So i guess i miss out
having one last word to him. See you all in a month or two.
