Hi Dave,
Thanks, this would be great! The repository containing the Crypto plugins
is:
MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography'
user: ''
password: ''
The package is CryptographyPlugins, newly created.
There are 4 plugins: DESPlugin, DSAPlugin, MD5Plugin, and SHA256Plugin.
Under the relaxation in export restrictions in 2000, all of these are
exportable.
Thanks,
Rob
