You know what occurs to me as a really ha-ha thought !?! Remember how much sh** people had to go through befroe exporting anything with (breakable) DES in it ? Well, the same country goes and lets people PUBLISH RSA... Isn't that a scream ? I suppose DES is still restricted, too. It's a good thing that the spooks don't live in the REAL world - they'd really get in our way.... --mjr(); -- If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness... -Johnny Mnemonic
