Good point Nils - I had completely forgotten that this is the way
integral points used to be found.

ok, sorry about the factor of 100. Ask me if you want to know how the
code works (but it is not easy). I just spent a large number of hours
tracking down an error revealed by valgrind (accessing unintialized
memory) which turned out to be a question of replacing < by <= in one
loop.

John,
I know about the GPL, but I always like to ask first! :-)
I had downloaded the binary-only version, and found the .spkg file,
but it's been replaced with a short
text which says that it's just there as a place-holder.
I've downloaded the full source now, thank goodness I'm on broadband.

Of course it is ok -- open source means open source!

John,
I'm interested in doing some work in this. I've just had a test run
of
point-search and would like to look at the source if that's OK.
The version of Sage I installed doesn't include the source so I

I'd look on the Sage website, but can't locate it there either.

Bill,
This question can be answered at (at least) two levels with very
different levels of sophistication.
For point searching on elliptic (and more general curves) there are
lots of algorithms and implementatons. There's a stand-alone C
program by M. Stoll and other called ratpoints, and my mw
