As long as you use a des key you should be ok, the code is just a bit
silly right now. But this won't really help you, since we (probably)
don't encrypt the same way as the Cambridge folks do anyway.

I'm working on a utility for reading MIT dump-files.

Discussion about these matters (including, and especially, ideas on
how to make this smooth), is most likely best discussed on
heimdal-discuss@sics.se.
