well, i saw the thing that said "it'll be faster if you set it to NO", so
that's what i did. personally, i think the comment is a little poorly
worded. i can only assume that saying YES will include RSA reference
code (which is non-exportable). i'm not quite sure where this code comes
from, tho, since this package originates outside the US. i think you'll
be perfectly fine if you just say NO, tho.
later.
