- Because asking the net has worked so well for me recently, I figured I'd
- come straight here with this one. Does anyone konw if there exists a
- 'big number' package for the Mac's THink C? I have vague memories of
- seeing some kind of package from DEC called 'bignum' while at school,
- but I can't remember how to get it or whether it supported Think C. I'm
- trying to fiddle around with RSA public key encryption, but I don't have
- the expertise or the patience (shame) to write my own large-number
- (hundred- to two-hundred digit) math routines. I need stuff like mod
- and exponentiation, and I am pretty sure that package does it. In any
- case (long-windedly) if anyone could give me a pointer to this package
- I'd appreciate it. I have ftp access.
