Summary: I agree.  Also: crypt from Computer Language, Feb. 1987


I agree, a crypt which used a compress style command line would
make more sense.  However, how do we convince AT&T of this, and
then get them to distribute fixes for everyone?

Not to worry, there has been published, in source code form, an
implimentation of the Unix crypt algorithm.  It could be easily
be modified and distributed on the net.  See the February 1987
issue of Computer Language, in an article by Alan Filipski.
