Any chance of a crypto-free version being made available for those of
use beyond the pale?  Something equivalent to the bones release of
Kerberos.  Would it be a shell release of Nautilus?  8-)

As always, I'd welcome a copy of this program, and others such as PGP
2.6.2 for Machintosh, if anyone outside the US should find themselves in
possesion of one and would like to provide it.  This expression is
*not* an incitement to break your local export regulations.
