That draws me like a magnet, unfortunately. On 01:28 PM 8/30/98 -0700, I personally witnessed quzah jumping up to say: > >Unless of course, you actually have to do anything with a floppy drive >in WIN95. You use floppies? >Another thing I hate is file names, what's the point of having >fat32, if you can't use the long name in DOS, and have to instead >use ~1 on everything? It's not really DOS. It's a Win32 command prompt, and long file names work just fine under it provided your application supports them (big proviso there) and you quote anything with DOS-illegal characters in it (like spaces). I've just been out at a prompt doing directories and types and finds, and every long file name I used worked famously. Is this maybe a Win98 thing? I only recently got over my 8.3 fetish in the first place, and I still don't have more than a handful of files and directories that use more then fifteen or so characters, and none of them have spaces in them except "Program Files" which annoys the hell out of me. Unfortunately, most software insists on putting crap in that folder, so if it isn't there you have Big Problems. I'm in God Mode right now, having sat down and decided CSocket and CAsyncSocket in the MFC library suck, so I should build my own socket class... and then writing a thousand lines of code at one sitting off the top of my head, resulting in an initial compile that located six places in the code where I misspelled a variable. I haven't determined whether it's bulletproof yet (I just retrofitted it into a POP3 mailer I built over the past few days, and it seems to run as reliably as the MFC classes did... even though I think the speed increase is just my imagination... I still have to do more testing), but you have to admit writing something that complex and having it compile on the second try is pretty damned impressive. I laugh at lesser mortals, your feeble attempts to program are worthless. Come, join me, and we can stand on the hilltop with our hands on our hips and laugh like this: HA! HA! HA!... Ahem. Sorry. So here's what I'm sitting around wondering, which is at least vaguely on topic. I want to do something in my server to try and protect the user's password in at least some half-assed fashion. Export controls are a problem, however, and what I'm trying to find at this point is something legally exportable from the US -- but all I seem to be able to find is all this stuff that works on million-bit keys. Does anyone know where I can find decent reasonably-sized (56 bits or less) encryption code? And does anyone know whether a program which doesn't include source code and doesn't permit the encryption of arbitrary data would still be a problem? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Caliban Tiresias Darklock <caliban#darklock,com> | "I'm not sorry or Darklock Communications <<A HREF="http://www.darklock.com/">http://www.darklock.com/</A>> | ashamed of who I PGP Key AD21EE50 at <<A HREF="http://pgp5.ai.mit.edu/~bal/">http://pgp5.ai.mit.edu/~bal/</A>> | really am."
