 Hi William,

 I just downloaded the sage version of the Stein-Watkins database of (a
 subset of) the elliptic curves of conductor < 10^8, because I need a
 supply of small curves with large rational torsion subgroups.  I looked in

   sage/local/share/stein_watkins/format.txt

 and it says that the torsion subgroup is given as follows:

   torsion_subgroup - n or nx, where n means Z/nZ and nx means Z/2Z x
 Z/2nZ.

 But in the actual tables, nx seems to indicate Z/2Z x Z/nZ (instead of
 2nZ), because the values that appear are 2x, 4x, 6x, and 8x.

 I hope all is well with you!  Thanks ---
