Subject: Re: Bit slice implementation of DES based hashes

At last a new twist came. The character equivalent of Ox0123456789ABCDEF is
a sequence of special characters i.e NON ASCII.Therefore it is mandatory to
use Unicode in oracle and then I hope we also need to change whole code of
Bit slice DES to Unicode because there every calculation is going on with
respect to ASCII char only .
