Hi Richard

It's available there under basic CUA principles. I don't want to 
explain it here. I'm concerned that someone will need a lot of hand 
holding to implement it properly. There are export restriction laws in 
place by different countries that need to be followed when implementing 
it. This becomes the responsibility and liability of the developer 
using it in their apps. There are better and best user procedures when 
disguising the encryption key while implementing it in transcript. I 
made it available to the Revolution_IPC group because that small group 
didn't need much to understand it and they needed some encryption 
solution for all the work they are doing there. I did briefly explain 
its three major parts there. If anyone wants to use it and wants me as 
a consultant regarding it then I'm available to help anyone that needs 
my help with it. I will need to collect a consulting fee if that is the 
case. So money might act like an energy booster. On the other hand all 
my comments regarding rev_blowfish at the Revolution_IPC group are 
contribution to that group's greater cause. Right now, I'm a little 
swamped developing an encrypted filing system for MTML publishing.

Here is a question I've never asked in a group like this. Has anyone 
here worked so hard on developing a software app that was so feature 
rich that the scope of it began to overwhelm your ability to 
concentrate? It's happened to me in short term moments a few years ago 
that lasted only several days but I feel like I'm just coming out of a 
six month phase of diminished capacity. This could be related to stress 
but it is more like writers block. I just can't work after I hit a 
limit each day. I have discovered that I was trying to keep all the 
code in my head until it was completed. I had to learn to 
compartmentalize the code into smaller parts and to deliberately try to 
forget the full content of the app's source code just working on one or 
two functions at a time. I've heard of burn out after about five years, 
I hope this isn't that. Anyone have or had experience with this or read 
an article regarding these kind of issues?
