DNA at last

I copied this out of the San Jose Mercury News this morning. US TEAM EXTRACTS FRAGMENTS OF DNA FROM DINOSAUR BONES (reuters)LONDON- American scientists have extracted genetic material from the bones of a 65 million-year-old dinosaur--but they won't be recreating the mighty beasts as happened in the film "Jurassic Park". Paleontologist Jack Horner, and advisor on Steven Spielburg's hit film about dinosaurs, managed to isolate fragments of DNA from the femur of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Sunday Times reported.(me: what Sunday times? The London Sunday Times?) Detailing the findings of the Montana University lecturer, it said Horner's team is to publish evidence that the fragments resemble those of modern-day birds. This would mean that dinosaurs did not die out 65 million years ago as generally assumed. Some may have survived and evolved into birds.(me: continued to evolve into birds) Horner has been racing against another US team, led by Professor Scott Woodward of Utah's Brigham Young University, to be first with the dinosaur DNA details. Woodward told the Sunday Times: "I think we will find there were almost as many different kinds of dinosaurs on Earth as there are animals today and that some were probably closely related to birds." But neither Horner or Woodward forecast that Jurassic Park would come true. DNA fragments can be amplified and copied, but they are only a tiny part of the total genetic make-up needed to re-create dinosaurs. (me: comments?) Betty Cunningham(Flyinggoat(a)aol.com)

hi ray. can ya do me a favor? Tell the fine folks on Cypher Punks that I will be handing out disks at UNIX expo, I have 100 3.5" 1.44 mb floppies and a ready to compile version of PGP- Plus a copy of the cypto articles you gave me last time. If anyone has ready to run (i.e. pkgadd, or tar -xvf pgp ) versions of PGP for SUN, SCO AIX, linux or some other UNIX drop me a line. I hope to have both source and ready to run disks. (And some PC disks as well) If you live in the NYC area, and want to go to UNIX-Expo for free (I have two extra passes, First come First Served) or just want to help- send mail to sal(a)panix.com -- sal(a)panix.com Yes, I use PGP.

Can anyone send me an update on how far the CPs are from releasing Phil Zimmermann's voice encryptor?
