It's very useful when these kind of algorithm.
I am also intersted in Blowfish encryption algorithm and I have made a
plugin for REALbasic.

I also agree this, but, I wish the app were constituted with only one binary
file. (not package)

BTW, REALbasic's plugin SDK is so poor and we can not use C++ exception.
This means we can not use standard C++ libraries, such as iostream, STL.
Such an inferior goods are not needed for me.
