\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
