Claus Tondering posts a message containing a common misunderstanding. U.S. crypto laws do not prohibit the export (or import) of crypto techniques and materials. They prohibit such export or import without a license. The government has behaved in such a way that at present we know that such licenses will not be issued for certain specific techniques, such as DES and RSA. Maybe the Word Perfect Corporation got a license for the technique used in Word Perfectc. David -- David Sternlight RIPEM Public Key on server -- Consider it an envelope for your e-mail
