+\abstract{Analytic initial data for vacuum black hole spacetimes}
+
+\section{Purpose}
+ Initial data is provided for the 3-metric, extrinsic
+ curvature, and if appropriate the conformal factor and it's spatial
+ derivatives. The current initial data sets are:
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item single (Schwarzschild) black hole in isotropic coordinates
+ $$ g_{ij} = $$
+ \item up to four Brill-Lindquist black holes,
+ \item Any number of Misner-type black holes.
+To be filled in very soon\ldots I promise.
+ \end{enumerate}
+
+
+\section{Comments}
+This thorn uses no special numerical methods, however two points
+are worth noting
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item The solution for Misner is obtained by summing a sequence
+ \item The spatial derivatives of the conformal metric (when required)
+ are calculated accurately using finite differencing of the
+ exact solution by a very small spacing </item>
+\end{itemize}
+
+It is still to be decided how initial data should be supplied to
+for systems of evolution equations which use more or different
+variables to those in the einstein implementation
