Initial import of rscode-1.0 into the Packages Collection.

	The Reed-Solomon Code is an algebraic code belonging to the class of
	BCH (Bose-Chaudry-Hocquehen) multiple burst correcting cyclic codes.
	The Reed Solomon code operates on bytes of fixed length.

	Given m parity bytes, a Reed-Solomon code can correct up to m byte
	errors in known positions (erasures), or detect and correct up to m/2
	byte errors in unknown positions.

	This is an implementation of a Reed-Solomon code with 8 bit bytes, and
	a configurable number of parity bytes.  The maximum sequence length
	(codeword) that can be generated is 255 bytes, including parity bytes.
	In practice, shorter sequences are used.

	The more general error-location algorithm is the Berlekamp-Massey
	algorithm, which will locate up to four errors, by iteratively solving
	for the error-locator polynomial.  The Modified Berlekamp Massey
	algorithm takes as initial conditions any known suspicious bytes
	(erasure flags) which you may have (such as might be flagged by a
	laser demodulator, or deduced from a failure in a cross-interleaved
	block code row or column).

	Once the location of errors is known, error correction is done using
	the error-evaluator polynomial.
