Subject: Re: Document Decryption:Fourth Year Project

Cool I'll have a look at the npdf2john might do a complete re-write in
python since I
don't know much perl. I'll also have a look at the OpenCL code for
OpenOffice docs but
no promises on that because it won't help my project in anyway since OpenCL
can't be
used on the raspberry pi.

Regards,

Shane
