I assume you are talking about the byte-ordering problems? I was able to
get it running on a Sun in about half an hour. It's not that big a deal.
Anyway, the point of my suggestion is merely to get things back the
way they were. Right now, the bad guys use fdes and the good guys don't,
and so the bad guys have a 100-to-1 advantage. If the good guys start
using fdes too, things will be balanced again.
