I have the statement: "typedef unsigned long int word32" and later on: "word32 b[3]" referencing the third bit of the integer.
If that's really exactly what you have, then you actually have something defining an array of three unsigned long integers named "b". And even if you didn't have precisely "word32 b[3]", but merely a "b[3]" reference somewhere, it would be referencing the third element of an array called "b", which is possibly a byte, maybe a long, but definitely not a bit.
Maybe showing it as code rather than inline in your text would avoid the possibility of confusion.

Sorry, the third "byte" is what I meant. As for code samples, I hope the following will work:
typedef unsigned long int word32 ;
void mu(word32 *a)
{
int i ;
word32 b[3] ;b[0] = b[1] = b[2] = 0 ;
for( i=0 ; i<32 ; i++ )
{
b[0] <<= 1 ; b[1] <<= 1 ; b[2] <<= 1 ;
if(a[0]&1) b[2] |= 1 ;
if(a[1]&1) b[1] |= 1 ;
if(a[2]&1) b[0] |= 1 ;
a[0] >>= 1 ; a[1] >>= 1 ; a[2] >>= 1 ;
}a[0] = b[0] ; a[1] = b[1] ; a[2] = b[2] ; }
The "a[#]" and "b[#]" are the parts that are giving me trouble. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
