The problem is RSAREF. I can't chose license terms for that.

Oof... I see the problem. No, it's not you, it's them. I've forgotten exactly what claims RSA has; patent (when does it expire?), copyright (can it be rewritten), or trade secret (wasn't it broken?)? Without some form of getting around this (or licensing from them), usage for pay will be kind of difficult. -Allen

It is patent on RSA, which expires in 2000 as I remember. It can be licensed, but it is not cheap. I don't know how they would handle a free program which people pay to use. -Lance ---------------------------------------------------------- Lance Cottrell loki@obscura.com PGP 2.6 key available by finger or server.
