Oh, you are right, it is part of the base system: /usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/bn It the library I was talking about, but I still want to use it and miss the man pages :) I've always been under impression that FreeBSD's man pages are way better than Pinguin's (can you say Linux's?). It seems that Linux man page for bn is not Linux-specific but rather generic OpenSSL. Can we include it?
