However; the example sendmail.cf scripts for UUCP support reference it. I'm guessing some intermediate hop incorrectly did that rewrite. I'd love to figure out just exactly which one... > > > Hey!

We continued to sell it from the book department until we ran out of stock. We ran out a few months ago. We continue to "support" it, albeit unofficially, via updates to that product. [e.g. Some recent updates were done to add a builtin rotate function for speeding up encryption/decryption.] We're considering a new C++ update to add templates - would that be worthwhile? If so, would you need automatic instantiation or would explicit instantiation be adequate? - Dave Rivers -
