I got news for you all. I'm applying for an account on a super computer which we got in our school. I need to write the reason why I need to have such an account. The reason why I want to put is: to break a DES-56 bit key encrypted message. I don't know if my applications for the account will be accepted, but if you got any ideas now as to how you'd like to use the computational power of a super computer, just let me know... http://www.pjwstk.waw.pl/sr2201/index.html this is the address to the page at my school about the SR2201, but it's in polish... i might translate it one day soon... Looking foreward to your comments and ideas. JD PS. My return address is somewhat messed up. Just send mail to either the list, or to s1180@qmail.pjwstk.waw.pl for some reason, the server at my school, PJWSTK, says that your domain is not accepted. For some reason, it says so for all domains.
