If you picked up a copy before   31-AUG-2000 16:47:47 Pacific Standard time
get it again.  I've found and fixed a couple more bugs - including now it
generates keys.  (But I still have not figured out the right syntax to
get it to encrypt a message using one of these keys.)

If anybody has an idea what

  Please note that you don't have secure memory on this system

means please share your thoughts.  This comes from the file secmem.c.

I suppose it's true to the extent that somebody with full priv's could read
the live data out of the application, but it's hard to see how any OS
could prevent that!
