This is a quick packaging up of my blowfish code into a library. It has been lifted from SSLeay. The copyright notices seem a little harsh because I have not spent the time to rewrite the conditions from the normal SSLeay ones. Basically if you just want to play with the library, not a problem. eric 15-Apr-1997 Seems like this wants to relax the conditions from the openssl license to something more permissive for this code. Unsure if this is enough though. AFAICT there hasn't been an answer to Jari's post on the upstream ML? Cheers, Julien
