One snag - in order to participate, you've gotta buy their "Decryption
Edition" for $10. It is also export restricted (they claim - funny, I
thought snake oil was freely exportable :-).

If one somehow fell into my hands, I might well attempt to reverse
engineer it :-) (OTOH, how do we know a decryption only version really
does anything?)

Cheers,

Ben.
