/* Global definitions for Reed-Solomon encoder/decoder
 * Phil Karn KA9Q, September 1996
 *
 * The parameters MM and KK specify the Reed-Solomon code parameters.
 *
 * Set MM to be the size of each code symbol in bits. The Reed-Solomon
 * block size will then be NN = 2**M - 1 symbols. Supported values are
 * defined in rs.c.
 *
 * Set KK to be the number of data symbols in each block, which must be
 * less than the block size. The code will then be able to correct up
 * to NN-KK erasures or (NN-KK)/2 errors, or combinations thereof with
 * each error counting as two erasures.
