No. Transfer of cryptographic software to a non-resident alien may expose one to proecution if and only if the alien subsequently exports the software. Because of this vendors of cryptographic software refuse to sell to non-resident aliens. As long as they sell only to US residents who say that they are not going to export the software, the vendors are safe from prosecution as accessories to the crime of exporting controlled munitions. I had to deal with this idiocy back in the eighties when I was building computers which may have qualified as 'munitions'. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
