  Thanks for the correction.  There seems to be many different versions for
  crypt.el out there. I know of the GNU zip modification, this `bug', and
  Jamie Zawinski's modifications for tar-mode.el.  Perhaps even the man
  himself (Kyle Jones) has mods.  Can someone bring all these all together?
  Kyle are you out there?
