Re: Cryptography- RSA

Hi Valery

Thanks for taking the time to reply (I'll use the correct newsgroup next
time.)

I thought it might have been to do with that so I looked for downloads for
Windows 98 SE, but only came accross a download for IE with strong
encryption.

I'm write a version of my application that doesn't use such strong
encrtption.
