                     14: .sh DESCRIPTION
                     15: On entry, r0 should point to a string of
                     16: characters terminated by an ASCII NULL.  The routine
                     17: performs an operation on the key which is difficult to invert
                     18: (i.e. encrypts it) and leaves the resulting eight bytes
                     19: of ASCII alphanumerics in a global cell called ``word''.
                     20: .s3
                     21: From C, the
                     22: .it key
                     23: argument is a string
                     24: and the value returned is a pointer to the eight-character
                     25: encrypted password.
                     26: .s3
                     27: Login uses this result as a password.
