Has anyone gotten crack 4.1 running on a DEC Alpha running OSF/1? I was
able to get the ufc-crypt portion compiled and running (the tests are
most impressive), but it appears that there are either some 32 bit vs 64
bit irregularities in crack itself, or some problems in the scripts. I
figured I would ask the community before I waded into it myself.

Thanks in advance.

             Are creative spellings like a patentable life form?
