libIPC and SDB are moving along well and appear ideal as Transcript libraries. My only concern is for the performance, usability, and distribution limitations of revBlowfish. Mark has done a truly amazing job and deserves many kudos and at least a six-pack of his favorite beverage in recognition of what he's accomplished. But for Blowfish to become a practical option for general use it would require revisions; like Mark pointed out, its currently more an example than a product. I'd sure like to see truly strong encryption as a pair of functions available for common use. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
