Map everything to zero. It (a) is trivial, (b) is one-way, and (c) will
confound almost anyone.

Have you tried either/both? Would you recommend one over the other?

Indeed it is / is / would ;o)

Are you the Dave Anderson that worked in a large building near Waterloo,
London, England?

Same name, same humour - just curious.

[url]http://www.dalun.com/ftp/crypto.zip[/url] can help you. Trivial, industrial
strength, though.

Nope. I've only been to England once, and I was only there for 5 glorious
days.

Does that Dave Anderson also share my love of Courage Director's Bitter?

Yes, and no. As I understand it, Director's Bitter is cask conditioned, and
requires pretty strict temperature regulation to survive the journey. AFAIK,
it's not sold in the states.

Ahhh - that makes sense.

Mostly drink the 'Best' when in Courage houses these days. It's lighter
than Directors - more of a session beer IYKWIM. The most reliable, widely
available and (IMNSHO) one of the better pints is Bass.

btw: what's the tolerance level for OT in this group.
