Please consider SCAN to now be in the public domain -- or under the current
Cryptix license if that is more convenient.

I think that my local copy of SCAN has some minor updates relative to the
version on my old home page (http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hopwood/crypto/scan/).
I changed my ISP several years ago, and I'm not sure why that page is even still
accessible. I will post the local copy, with the license restrictions removed,
within a few days.
