willdye If you're looking for a way to perform the crypt function in Tcl, then the link you want is probably crypt in pure tcl.JMN 2005-08-31 The crypt in pure tcl above is packaged as 'tclcrypt' in the TclHttpd distribution.In the non-starkit TclHttpd distribution, there is also the much faster binary version packaged as 'crypt'.These are also available separately here: http://vectorstream.com/tcl/packages/The trf package also provides the crypt function, but apparently not on the Windows platform at least.While on the general subject - beware that at least one crypt implementation (crypt.exe in Cygwin on Windows) takes its 'password & salt' arguments in the reverse order to that of the Tcl implementations mentioned above.See md5crypt for a more 'modern' method of password encryption.
