- Thanks for the correction. There seems to be many different versions for
- crypt.el out there. I know of the GNU zip modification, this `bug', and
- Jamie Zawinski's modifications for tar-mode.el. Perhaps even the man
- himself (Kyle Jones) has mods. Can someone bring all these all together?
- Kyle are you out there?
