The one being focused on is sending encrypted mail between machines. The other issue is that some systems are not *shipped* with crypt. SCO XENIX for example. However, it was real easy to get. One phone call to SCO support and I had it within a week. I'm inclined to remove the assumption from elm that the system has crypt available. This could be done by including a crypt() with the sources. Maybe, however, it would be better handled with some #ifdef's. -- Chip Rosenthal /// chip@vector.UUCP /// Dallas Semiconductor /// 214-450-0400 {uunet!warble,sun!texsun!rpp386,killer}!vector!chip I won't sing for politicians.
