There is a W-German DES program available for PC compatible computers.
It is called PC-DES, and is distributed as "charityware".  It is
currently used by a number of people, including myself, when we have
to send "live" viruses in E-mail.

If anybody is interested, I can E-mail copies of it (xxencoded PKARC
file).  Since I am located in Iceland, I am of course not restricted
by US regulations.  Just be careful - if somebody in the USA receives
a copy, it is probably illegal so send a copy back out of country.
