| I enjoyed Ray's message about the crypto library interface. I haven't | had time to study it closely, but I have a couple of quick comments: I thought it was very well done as well, with one ommission, other than the one Hal noted. There should be a compress function, becuase messages should be compressed before encryption takes place. Giving the library a zip() call also makes it possible to suggest the library in more circumstances. When people ask 'where can I snarf some compression code?' we can point them to a library that does strong crypto as well. Adam -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
