Re: Problems with RC5 (looks simple enough)

Benjamin, 
       Thanks for the update, will definately try it out. However, the RC5
problem doesnt just end with newlines, I think other non-alphanumeric
characters cause problems as well. Also, I think this problems exists in
implementations in other languages such as C. I was trying to do the same
project in C but was getting similar problems, I ported over to Perl so
that I would not have to deal with byte-by-byte problems. Thanks for all
the help to all who provided the advise.
