RE: RPG Encryption Algorithm??

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don,

What I'm trying to do with the "RPG ToolKit" is to provide procedure calls
to useful routines. There are a few CL command built on top of the toolkit
and the source for those CL tools is included. My release schedule is about
one or two new tools per month. Just bind to the toolkit service program and
you can use the procedures I've created.  

-Bob

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..... :)
