Yes - sorry. I overlooked the link on the PDA. Will mow read through it. But if openssl means trouble, I'll prefer to stay away from it unless there is *very* good reason. You wake-up call was *right* in time. I planned to do some major hacking tomorrow - nothing lost so far :) [and, in case you wonder, yes, initial RELP is done ;)]. > > Is any of the alternates suitable for production use, > especially in a highly threaded environment?
