Hi - Thanks to all that replied
I untarred the file from the terminal using tar and the checksum is
OK. The error message on untarring unnerved me a bit, and so I think I
was too hasty in saying that testall failed. I have since let it run
right through and at the end it says "all tests passed!"

Mike,
Many thanks for the info. I should have spotted the info when I looked
at some other
bits. I did try:

Mike,
thanks for the info. I'd never have figured that out.
Thanks for the supplementary advice on how to set about the work, too.

Hello Bill,
sage: E = EllipticCurve('5077a'); E
Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - 7*x + 6 over Rational Field
sage: E?
Type: EllipticCurve_rational_field
Base Class:
String Form:Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - 7*x + 6 over
Rational Field
Namespace: Intera
I'm new to Sage and haven't found my way around yet.
I've downloaded 2.9 source and compiled it.
For those who collect statistics it reported taking 4H 17M on my
Toshiba Equium (Intel Celeron, 2.9GHz).
I'm interested in adapting John Cremona's code for finding rational
points on elliptic curves t
