Both 40-bit and 128-bit RC4 encryption algorithms are supported. The
code to do so is simple,

if(cur_salt->type == 4) /* 128-bit RC4 */
     memcpy(dek, Hfinal, 16);
else /* 40-bit RC4 */
     memcpy(dek, Hfinal, 5);

If you find an Office <= 2003 file which is not currently supported,
let me know.
