And thanks to Ro Nagey and Tuviah Snyder I'm working on improving my 
version of rev_blowfish towards CBC, cipher block chaining. My version 
was first worked out in ECB, electronic code book mode. So this new 
capability will be added to the library as a mode feature. On the other 
hand I will probably get written permission to post the rev_blowfish 
source code after Rev has its own SSL encryption capability built in. 
This will be the full 448 bit encryption. It will be up to the 
developer that uses it to comply with export regulations if they add it 
to their standalone apps.
