what would happen if the iconv.dll would be left out?

much as i love 2.6.3a multi 6,
and am one of the few diehards that still uses it regularly
(and from a floppy),

i would _not_ recommend it for use in
'really nasty places'

no crypto program is useful there,
as a simple screen capturer or hardware key logger is enough
to cause major tragedy

the best solution there,
is to use zero-distortion stego carriers,
and without 'any' program
outside of the user's head

several such text-within-text stego pencil and paper schemes are 
available
