This would not be AT&T code, and it would not be the DES standard either, but it would be just as effective. I believe that this could be exported from the US. Any comments? Should I do this, so I can contribute it to Minix? -- favourite oxymorons: student athlete, military justice, mercy killing Ken Hendrickson N8DGN/6 kjh@usc.edu ...!uunet!usc!pollux!kjh
