This is Crack v4.1, the "Sensible" Unix Password Cracker.  
 
- Documentation is in the directory 'Docs' - go for it...  
 
dicts.rules is now up to 240 entries, mostly thanks to mycroft @ 
gnu.ai.mit.edu; don't lose heart, its not as bad as all that...  3 weeks 
of CPU isn't all that long, really...  Seriously, most of the rules 
generate really small dictionaries, so it's not all that bad.  8-) 
 
There are several additions to the dictionary rules, notably the 
character class commands and the i, o, = and @ commands.  
 
Use of "Crack -R" (as opposed to "Crack -r") is not recommended until I 
write v5.0, unless you know exactly what you're doing and why it bombs 
out on you...  
 
Also, Crack now fully supports UFC (the latest version of which is to be 
posted concurrently with Crack v4.1) - all you should have to do is 
unpack the latest version of UFC into the directory 
 
				ufc-crypt 
 
which you should create in the Crack installation directory.  The 
program should do the rest.  
 
Happy cracking !
