Mike,

It has been discussed around here. Several ideas came up. One that makes

since to me:

CRC(Password + Seed)

Another one was

CRC(SeedFunction(CRC(Password)))

Yeah, crazy. Depending on the first or last character of the CRC of the

password start a random number generator to get addition characters at a

predetermined length. Something about the possibility of different machines

might generate different random numbers.
