: Are you referring to the "Secure Hash Algorithm"? Uh, I think it's 
: FIPS-80... How many lines of code is it? My implementation of SHA

: the same thing, though...

That's it. The code is not large, but #define macros are used to
generate most of the code. My machine took so long to compile this
code that I aborted the compiler 3 times thinking that it had gotten
into an infinite loop. Finally I just did something else until it
finished ( a long time later!) I'm running Warp Connect on a 486DX2-50
with 16 meg ram and no off-chip cache.
