Hi,
The early version of the paper was quietly circulated to a small
number of factoring experts and colleagues to get their comments. 
I'll probably write an expanded version soon, but in the meantime
I am enclosing in the next email the current version, which is now in
the public domain and can be circulated freely.

Best personal wishes,
Adi.

Note: We had to remove four lines of erroneous code at the
end of the paper to get it to open in GhostView. Any problems 
with it please let us know: jy@jya.com

I'll leave it there for a few weeks.
