I have plenty of clues, Thank You.  Here let me share a few with you.
I'm quite aware that the code originated outside the USA.  That
matters not one iota to US law, as far as I know.  It is illegal to
export the code regardless of where it came from.  If some Canadian or
Mexican or Cuban ( :-) site gets its feed from the US, then an illegal
export has occured.  If someone ftps it from a US archive site, then
an illegal export has occured.  I've simply been made paranoid about
all this by discussions in comp.risks and rec.photo.

I hope you simply forgot to put a smiley there.
