I am interested to see what you have.

But as an aside, have you looked at the Microchip implementation, available=
 on CD or download? The download costs US$5 from memory (for all their en/d=
ecrypt code for all the implementations they have) so that they can control=
 where it goes, like you specified. I wonder how their code does in compari=
son.

Also, which version of C30 did you use? It seems some versions have some op=
timisation hiccups.
