Have any of the other readers of this list used Allan
Latham's ppdd encrypted file system?

<http://pweb.de.uu.net/flexsys.mtk>

We are considering its use for vulnerable laptop computers,
as it appears that it might provide a faster and more
straightforward alternative to our usual cfs.

Its core is an assembly-coded Blowfish implementation, which
seems to have been done correctly, but I've seen no
discussion of ppdd's relative merits.
