              Announcement of ZEN-2.0 release.

We are pleased to announce the official release of version 2.0 of the
ZEN library.

By now, this library ,written in C language and developed during
authors' thesis [Chabaud96,Lercier97], is used by only few
people. However, we have the feeling that such a software could be
useful to a larger audience in handling efficient computations over
finite fields.

That is why a new version is now available at

    http://www.dmi.ens.fr/~zen

We welcome any comment.
