I would like to speak up in favour of including your MD5 implementation in Squeak, along with the SHA which is there now. MD5 is used in a number of Internet authentication protocols, and this implemention seems to work quite well for me.

I second this. I used MD5 in a prototype chat client emulating an existing C++ one and the MD5 stuff worked like a charm. BTW, it took only a few days to get the prototype running vs. don't ask the C++ guys how long it took them ;-)
Well, it's certainly fine with me - but it's really up to SqC to decide what goes into the base image. I think that there's some feeling that all of the current cryptography support (SHA, MD5 and DES) should be somehow consolidated into a single plugin, but to date nobody's found the time to do that. This unfortunately includes me.
If anyone else is willing to take up the challenge, please step up!
