Jeff, Anthony,

Please ignore the old beecrypt-java-2.0.0 for now. A new version (mainly
a provider offering access to native speed algorithms, requiring the JNI
interface) is being worked on, and should start appearing in the
BeeCrypt CVS tree shortly.

Ideas and thoughts as to which direction that particular package should
evolve towards are welcome, as I get little feedback from beecrypt-java
users. Although not officially hosted there yet, any bugs or feature
requests are always welcome on the BeeCrypt SourceForge page...

Cheers,

Bob
