	Gee, Doug:

    Hey, do you really have the source for crypt ??? (rhetorical question).
    Actually, if it at all possible, I would very much like a copy.
    I think others might also learn a bit from reading such material.

    Thanx in advance (if it is possible to show this without 
    infringing (sp?) on someone or somethings rights  :-) ).
