When ed(1) was first ported (a few months ago) we thought there was something wrong with it lacking encryption -- further digging exposed the export control problems. Of course, being a Canadian company, the U.S. Department of Commerce doesn't affect us -- our European and Far East customers will be getting the crypt stuff ported in our existing system. Less anyone cry 'foul', remember we are currently shipping crypt all over the world -- a switch to release 2 of System V is not a good reason to stop. ( Actually, some Canadians do run into trouble with U.S. export laws. All part of being a good ally, I guess. ) -- Chris Retterath {decvax,utcsrgv,utzoo}!hcr!hcradm!chrisr also available: ....!cygnus!chris
