Unfortunately, neither of those sites have it.
The version I'm looking for has a blf_ctx structure that gets passed
as the first argument to functions so you can use multiple keys at a
time. It also has the initialization data stuck in the C code.
Does anyone out there have the Applied Cryptography source code
diskette? Would you be willing to mail me the code? It would
probably take a while if I ordered the diskette myself and I'd like to
get the code as soon as possible.
Thanks,
David
