I suspect that you don't really need CRACK for this but instead could
simply use a script that checks the selected password's quality before
it is encrypted, assuming that I read the application right. A perl
script to do this is an extended example in the Perl book by Larry
Wall. You can find the code for all the examples in the book on
ftp.uu.net, and I believe there is a Perl available for PCs, so that
would more or less handle the problem for you guys.
