Aren't you the one who keeps insisting that Google is your friend? I
had no problem finding half a dozen Pascal/Delphi implementations of
Blowfish in no time. <g>

First, my post was mostly just to disuade the OP from using "la langue
preference de jour." Second, nobody in their right mind should use
standalone ciphers/hashes/etc in their application unless they're
really in a bind.

You're better served [in most cases] by an entire library that has a
consistent API and build system. You need more than a cipher to make a
cryptosystem and a patchwork assembly of random code "found on the
Internet" is a good way of not writing solid code.
