Missing pieces of my password checker

There was a piece 'driver.c' missing from a posting of my password checker
a while back.  Sorry about that - driver.c is nothing more than a simple
chunck of C that read from stdin, called checkpasswd() and printed the results.

It was hacked together in a few days and tossed onto the net (months ago I
might add) in the midst of a raging debate on comp.unix.wizards about password
security.  Hence the missing and mis-named pieces.

A new complete version of this password checker is now available.  I have
submitted it to the comp.sources.unix moderator for distribution.  For those
who have FTP access, it can be gotten by anonymous FTP from emx.utexas.edu,
(128.83.1.33) in the directory "pub/checkpasswd".

I think those who have the old version will find my newer edition more useful.
