21.5.x crypt.el + MULE + encoding bug (and potential fix)

[Karl Berry]

Hi folks,

    I donâ€™t know. Perhaps Karl doesnâ€™t have the time nor
    the resources to support it any more and he suspects we do?

In early 2004, I was told in the course of a conversation with Adrian
Aichner that XEmacs already included crypt.el as a standard file (which
I had not known), and that their/your crypt.el *was* crypt++.el, just
not installed under that name.  Hence the pointer in my README and
ChangeLog.  Is something awry?  Is it not supported in XEmacs either?

Anyway, you're right that I can't support it any more.  I get occasional
email about it, and my response is always "would you like to be the
maintainer":).  So far, no takers ...

Does that clarify anything?

Cheers,
karl
