Actually, I do *not* plan on releasing any actual code to this program. I
do, however, think that details kept by secrecy are not really secure in
the long run. As with any security loophole, the calcs would be better off
with some sort of "virus protection" (I use the term loosely) to protect
against future programs that may try to damage the calc.
In addition, I think that *some* general idea of how this program works
should be known, rather than this program _magically_ recovers the archive.
I am currently in the process of finding this out (Macsbug ain't just for
debugging)
