Thanks for the detailed info.
I'm not usually up for Windows-specific troubleshooting/bugfixing
"for
fun", I end up doing more than enough of that for work :)
However, Chris Little already seems to have zeroed in on the issue,
saying (about 24 hours ago):
I suspect this is a problem specific to the Win32 VC++ builds, due
to
the old US export restriction code. I probably won't have a fix
until tomorrow.
so you may see a fix pretty soon, since from that reference point,
it is
already "tomorrow" :)

Actually, I'm pretty well dumbfounded now.
I can't get the cipher to work anywhere that I've tried. It should
be the case that if USBINARY is defined during the library build, it
will enable the ciphering/deciphering code. If USBINARY is not
defined, trying to do a cipher/decipher will just give you back the
same text as you supplied.
I tried adding USBINARY to the VC++ project, but that had no effect.
I tried the BCB5 binaries from an older version (these have always
had USBINARY defined), and I found that it was also failing to
cipher. So I tried compiling svnhead in Ubuntu and found it to
produce exactly the same result.
I'm not sure how Jonathan is getting a positive result. I don't
believe any significant changes to the cipher stuff were made
between 2400 and head of osis2mod. So the different behavior
reported between 2400 and 2435 is surprising.
Anyway, that's all to say that I couldn't figure out what is wrong
in the 1.5 hours I had to dedicate to the issue today. Additional
reports of osis2mod working or not working with ciphering would
probably be helpful.
I'll look today to see that it works under Linux.
