The problem is, this will be a really hard thing for me to do, as the math is difficult for me, and I'm pretty sure that Menezes will say yes if he remembers me. So, before I ask, I want to know: will anybody actually *read* ECPKC if I translate it to lojban? -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin. .i le pamoi velru'e zo'u crepu le plibu taxfu .i le remoi velru'e zo'u mo .i le cimoi velru'e zo'u ba'e prali .uisai http://www.lojban.org/ *** to sa'a cu'u lei pibyta'u cridrnoma toi
