BTW, the code has been posted to Usenet by a Frank Falstaff -- look for message ID <40b8tk$cj4@news.xs4all.nl> in sci.crypt (Wed, Aug. 9, 1995). His article refers to a message ID (namely <40b50l$oa8@utopia.hacktic.nl>) that differs from the message ID of the copy sent to c'punks. So it looks like there was at least one additional recipient. That's a minimum of 5 originals so far....

It has been posted twice to sci.crypt, once from "Frank Falstaff", and once through the remailer@utopia.hacktic.nl. sci.crypt seems to have been one of the recipients... Hadmut
