Stepken: I think that this is a good idea, but....<br><br>Pharo developers are few and limited. They are trying to do all of their best on Pharo. We know this an important package but perhaps they have more important things to do. Pharo is not even in a beta of first milestone. This can be planned in a future milestone.<br>
<br>Porting the actual cryptography package to Pharo perhaps is much easier than wrap an entire library.<br><br>Any code is welcome :)<br><br>As I said in the other thread about this, I think this is a perfect project for ESUG SummerTalk. It has the Pharo philosofy. I mean, if Pharo want to be an opensource smalltalk to create real enterprise applications, then cryptography package is needed. <br>

https, md5, DES, AES .... i really wonder, why you can&#39;t decide to<br>
plugin libcrypt ....?<br>
<br>
In C programming language we have all, we can imagine. So why reinvent<br>
the wheel by rewriting complex code in smalltalk?<br>
<br>
Why not including a small webserver in C language as plugin? Code is there.<br>
<br>
Same with pdf libs - why not using Display PDF in C code with e.g.<br>
PANGO, like Apple did with Mac OS X?<br>
<br>
No, instead of doing so, MORPHIC is still there, based on C-LANG blitter<br>
code.<br>
<br>
In Morphic, i noticed long time ago, there existed the possibility to<br>
print every screen object, writing it directly to file, sending it to<br>
the printer afterwards.<br>
It never worked for me, i tried in 3.6, 3.8, 3.9.<br>
<br>
Being abble to print contents out of the box in PDF format, the<br>
successor of PS, really would be nice ...<br>
<br>
Dear Squeak, Smalltalk, Pharo - developers - Do you still have the<br>
overview or are you lost in Smalltalk details?<br>
<br>
cheers, Guido Stepken<br>
