[Gambas-user] CryptoExample & gCrypto

[Daniel Oxley]

What would be a perfect solution would be to have them totally compatible
with each other.  Once proved that it is a true blowfish implementation we
could even hassle Bruce Schneier (who designed it) to mention it on his
website like the VB version!

Hey Daniel:

It's been more everybody else's efforts... I'm just putting it all 
together. ;-) ...  It might be an inconsistency in the version of 
blowfish that I use, and the one that Leo ported from...  I may take 
another whack at Blowfish, since I have discovered how to do 2d arrays 
in Gambas now [looking @ Leo's examples...]...  Just one strange thing 
leads to another, this day in age!
