MUSAC? Is that the Massey Unversity School Admistration thing?
I remember using it at High School (I was writing an automatic school-report printing program for the school and needed the info from the package.) It had this option where, if you forgot your password, you could type in "unkown" and get back a list of numbers, which you could send up to Massey and they would send you your password back. I typed in unknown once, for my known password, and figured out the encryption code in a couple hours one Friday after school. My first real crack! I was so buzzed! I can still sort-of-remember it if you ever forget your password, although hopefully they will have changed the encoding scheme by now. (This was 1990/1991 BTW). I must stress: I only did it for the challenge, and did not use the information in any illegal/immoral way. Cheers, Carl.
