Re: RPG Encryption Algorithm??

I've been trying to get Jim Sloan to add things like PGP, and other
useful crypto stuff, to the TAATOOLs toolset for a while now...  Ditto
.pdf creation software...

But, then, I've also been trying to convince him that we need tools in
more than just CL and RPG....:)

What ever happened to the COMMON and LISUG tools libraries that members
could get?  I have a OLD OLD copy floating around here somewhere.  Would
be nice if something  like COMMON would take the OLD tools libs and update
them and make them open source...might give folks something for the $100
membership fee they pay each year...not to mention some goodies for the
AS/400 community..... :)
