There is a summary of the Canadian crypto rules, by Stewart Baker, at the Steptoe and Johnson site: http://www.steptoe.com/encryp.htm I skimmed it today and it seems that Canada is considerably more liberal. There are interesting issues regarding U.S.-originated content. Lee At 9:19 AM -0700 7/2/97, Bert-Jaap Koops wrote:
