A quote from a post announcing availability of a crypt product: "~ftp/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/Archivers/zip10c.tar.Z Uploaded by Fabian Mueller (fabi@imp.ch) ZIP 1.0 w/ encryption code. Note that file can *not* be exported across U.S. or Canadian boundaries. If you are from a non-U.S. or non-Canadian site, you will have to get this file through some other means. Keep in mind that even if you are not in the U.S., if your country is one of the 20 or so that signed the COCOM treaty, you will not be able to export it outside your country without an export license either, even to another COCOM country. Also, if you are in France, the *importation* of cryptopgraphic code is illegal, and you may not use any cryptographic techniques unless you provide copies of all of your keys to the French Secret Service ahead of time. Note: this should not be construed as legal advice; if you have concerns about possibly being thrown into jail as an arms smuggler, please consult your attorney for definitive legal advice first. Have a nice day. :-)" I remember reading also that in Canada you must turn the keys over to Her Majesty's Post Office if you use encryption. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Followups directed to comp.org.eff.talk. //Jyrki
