Thanks, I  mistyped, I meant 3f4. I saw the "export restrictions" on the=20
Makefile, but I always thought they are the same Berkeley restrictions=20
BSD has (..please dont=B4port to Iran, Lybia or Cuba).
Now, Berkeley has even made publicly available the original code at:
http://www-cad.eecs.berkeley.edu/Software/software.html
and they don't even WARN about such restriction !

Better than that, I'm putting my own CD, I got a permit to distribute=20
Netscape internally, so I will add exportable DES and other importable=20
stuff on a nice CD for my campus.
The netscape permit was very easy to obtain, just a fax, it is highly=20
recomendable for educational institutions.
