Note that Martin is from Vancouver *Canada* before you send the crypt 
*command* to him.  You might get into a lot of trouble with the NSA if 
you ship crypt sources or binaries outside the US.  "crypt", since it 
is an implementation of the DES, is a export-restricted item and requires 
an export license.  That's why the international versions of UNIX don't 
have the command.  AT&T got into trouble with it in Version 7.  

The password "crypt" subroutine is not-quite DES, but you still might 
have some trouble if somebody finds out.
