I think there are few European sites who do not have the DES part of the
C-library. These old export rules really make very little sense in a world
with has e-mail. (Getting accross the ocean with a floppy is very easy too.)

However, I must admit that the russians are a bit open about the software
they probably "found" somewhere and copied illegaly...
