What's the intent? I find that I can remember a "word" better if I can
pronounce it. This may or may not be true for other people, but *anything*
that encourages the use of random passwords is an improvement on what I
typically see at client sites every day. So this program spits out
passwords which are virtually guaranteed not to be found in the dictionary,
but are (usually) pronounceable to speakers of English. (The tables can be
modified for other languages, but they're rather hairy. Perhaps I'll write
a version which loads "compiled" language descriptions, and let the compiler
deal with the hairy stuff. Hey, they were even hairier in the BASIC
version!)
Oh, well, shar and enjoy.
