Actually, not. The README file describes how to download the package,
but I didn't read it - I was told how to get the package by a friend.
He just specified the full path of the files that I needed to
download. Only after I got the package and began reading the
documentation I found out that the export of this software is still
restricted and I shouldn't have it... :-)

It seems obvious to be so, I agree, but it isn't. The anonymous ftp
site rsa.com performs no filetring of the anonymous users by their
host. As stupid as it is...
