... and if both of you got together on this...

I decided to do some testing myself.

put: go url "http://www.gizmotron.org/frogbreath.rev" into the message 
window with a active internet connection.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This Rev stuff is so cool, fast, and amazing. I've found 
the needed speed optimization I was looking for.

I'll bet Dar Scott would know this one.

In the last part of the final process for Blowfish:

     put (xL bitAnd 4278190080 ) / 16777216 into zap
     put numToChar( (zap bitAnd 255) ) after cipherText
     put numToChar( ((xL bitAnd 16711680) / 65536 ) ) after cipherText
     put numToChar( (( xL bitAnd 65280 ) / 256 ) ) after cipherText
     put numToChar( ( xL bitAnd 255 ) ) after cipherText
     put (xR bitAnd 4278190080 ) / 16777216 into zap
     put numToChar( (zap bitAnd 255) ) after cipherText
     put numToChar( ((xR bitAnd 16711680) / 65536 ) ) after cipherText
     put numToChar( (( xR bitAnd 65280 ) / 256 ) ) after cipherText
     put numToChar( ( xR bitAnd 255 ) ) after cipherText

xL and xR are 32 bit numbers that could be stored in an array as a 
custom properties set. Blowfish takes a major speed hit when putting 
text into the "put ... after cipherText" variable. Is there a better 
way to store these 32 bit numbers than putting them in a stored array?
