I found tech note 31, and even managed to talk a friend through to it
on the phone, but I hadn't appreciated the great value in hearing the
!fooM.  I only thought it cute.  When tried to reproduce it again, it
didn't work.  !fooM is *very* important.

I even sent Mac The Knife a fax on how to find Clarus, but I left out
the !fooM, he didn't find it himself--or wasn't interested--and I
didn't get a mug.  Would have been fun to have my boss wonder how I
got a MacWeek mug...

As for the encryption algolrythm, I didn't figure it out, I just got
it itself to tell me what I needed to know.  

Everybody out there go on a Dog Cow hunt, right away, before they all
disappear from grazing off cliffs!
