4.3BSD exists in two separate versions, one with DES for
domestic consumption, the other without it for foreign consumption.
A serious pain in the neck for all involved.

_Numerical Recipes_ is the name of a book published by Cambridge
University Press in England.  Along with all sorts of numerical
goodies for almost anything you want to do, it has implementations
of DES in both FORTRAN77 and Pascal.  the publishers also sell
PC-compatible diskettes of all the software in the books.

Finally, one of the major encryption algorithms (I forget if it was
DES or RSA) was first presented at a cryptography conference in
Poland.

So what's the big deal, since half the world knows this stuff anyways?
