I fail to see why anybody would bother with coding up an RSAref compatible lib. But there is of course RSAref Europe, so that job was done years ago. What is more interesting is how long it will take for us to see more fully-featured BSAFE API compatible code. --Lucky On Wed, 6 Sep 2000, Bill Stewart wrote:
