Hi guys!

Thanks for helping me with the EVP padding.  Now a I have a new question 
regarding RSA encryption/decryption.

>From the man pages, it seems that when using RSA_public_encrypt(), my input 
buffer must not be bigger than the keysize - 11.  In my case, I have a 1024 
bit key, so my input cannot exceed 117 bytes.  Surely RSA is capable of 
encrypting more data at a time?  I made my own block chaining thing, but I'm 
guessing there is a standard way to do this.

Is there some function for chaining a bunch of blocks together?  Are the RSA_* 
functions too low-level and I should be using something else?  I didn't see 
anything in the EVP stuff for RSA.

Thanks,
-Justin
