RIPEM is such a program.   It has been undergoing Alpha testing
and will soon enter beta testing.  RIPEM is not, strictly speaking,
public domain because it uses technology licensed free of charge
from RSA Data Security.  The license agreement precludes commercial
use and has some other provisions, but is probably generous enough
for most sci.crypt purposes.  (The code in RIPEM that I wrote is
public domain.)

Persons genuinely interested in becoming beta testers can
send me email at  mrr@scss3.cl.msu.edu.  I will only take
about 10 more testers before releasing the program, though.
I've learned my lesson and will not make a public prediction
of the date of final release!
