- The fact of the matter is that US computer manufacturers don't make
- their implementations of crypt and decrypt available to the likes of

- And you can get a better idea of the picture by FTP-ing to
- gatekeeper.pa.dec.com, where you will find the following informative

- EXPORT CONTROL NOTE: Non-U.S. ftp users are required by law to follow U.S.
- export control restrictions, which means that if you see some DES or
- otherwise controlled software here, you should not grab it. Look at
- 00README.export-control (in every directory, more or less) to learn more.
- (If your the treaty between your country and the United States did not
- require you to respect U.S. export control restrictions, then you would
- not have Internet connectivity to this host. Check with your U.S. embassy
- if you want to verify this.)
