NAME            crypt -- password encoding



SYNOPSIS        mov $key,r0

                jsr pc,crypt



DESCRIPTION     On entry, r0 should point to a string of charac-

                ters terminated by an ASCII NULL.  The routine

                performs an operation on the key which is diffi-

                cult to invert (i.e. encrypts it) and leaves the

                resulting eight bytes of ASCII alphanumerics in a

                global cell called "word".



                Login uses this result as a password.



FILES           kept in /lib/liba.a



SEE ALSO        passwd(I),passwd(V), login(I)



DIAGNOSTICS     there are none; garbage is accepted.
