Alleged RC4 source code (message header only)

In case any of you had filtered this one out based purely
on sender and subject, I've enclosed the *headers* of the message and
its first paragraph.

The message also contained two source files, "rc4.h" and "rc4.c",
implementing a stream cypher which is based on incremental shuffling
of a permutation of the numbers 0..255, and seems to be fairly
well-suited for efficient implementation in software.  For obvious
reasons, I'm not including the source files here.

    SUBJECT:  RC4 Source Code


    I've tested this.  It is compatible with the RC4 object module
    that comes in the various RSA toolkits.
