I think all this worrying about whether to post DES code is a bit off
the mark.  The relevant US export restrictions are stupid, repressive,
probably unenforceable on First Amendment grounds, and ought to be
violated at every chance.  If the government were so obtuse as to
actually prosecute anyone for this, I would be glad to contribute
money to a legal defense fund;  I suspect many other netters would be
too.
