I just ftp'ed pkz204c.exe from garbo.  What is garbo's policy concerning
making this type of software available internationally?  

Yes, I know garbo is in Finland and not subject to US laws but I'm just
wondering if they have any policy of following US restriction on exports
of encryptation or not.
