The UNITY/VMS system from HCR was recently brought up to System V release 2
standards. 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. )
