I recently noticed tat freebsd does not include the crypt(1) command,
neither does vi support the -x option for editing crypt(1)ed files.

3 questions:

1) where can I get source for crypt(1)
2) is there a secure editor for FreeBSD?
3) why are these (moderately) usefull abilities not included with freebsd?

(I am very well aware that crypt is not 'good' security, it is however
good against prying eyes, and portable amongs many forms of UNIX and not
export controlled.)
