Ron, I almost did it (I already downloaded the files) but here is what
concerns me.
The calculations the program makes is cryptographic information which is
on the ammunitions list. It cannot be exported, especially in machine
readable form such as email. By sending out keys explored, you are
practically exporting parts for ammunition, and you could be in for
government action.
There is no way (unless one receives a letter from the government
blessing it) you can be sure that you are not violating anything if you
are located in the US.
