BTW: I found BeeCrypt at http://www.virtualunlimited.com/products/beecrypt/

Quote from the site:
"""What is BeeCrypt?
BeeCrypt is an open source cryptography library that contains highly
optimized C and assembler implementations of many well-known
algorithms including Blowfish, SHA-1, Diffie-Hellman, and ElGamal
(full list). Unlike some other crypto libraries, BeeCrypt is not
designed to solve one specific problem, like file encryption, but to
be a general purpose toolkit which can be used in a variety of
applications.  There are also no patent or royalty issues associated
with BeeCrypt, and it is released under the GNU LGPL license (read
more), which means it can used for free in both open source and closed
source commercial projects."""
