  I never enter the Jackboot Registration process via snailmail, only
through alleged email.
  Got your .06 Beta from some overseas terrorist website, however, and
it runs faster than anything else I've tried on Win95.
  BrydDES runs at about 50k Keys/s on my Pentium 120. Genx's stuff
runs at about 75,000 Keys/s. Yours runs at 217,006 Keys/s.

  I tried running the test challenge data with your software, and it
apparently didn't find the key. However, there was nothing in the 
documentation as to the correct command-line parameters for running
the program on the test data, so I am refraining from labeling you
a disinformation-spook (for the moment).
