Re: Hardware accelerated hashing and decryption

Ups, just mention that i was hooked to a LW-doc that was stone-aged :/
The call does not exist now. But you may have a look to 
https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw81/fli/fli-advanced-6.htm
This give some hints to make almost the same with the current LW images.

Sry for the inconvinience :/

Andreas
