Example of DES decryption code

    /******************************************************************************
      desex.c, an example of how to use the openssl DES implementation... Data
      is input on stdin, and the enrypted information is output to stdout. Prompts
      appear on stderr...
    
      This is an example of the Electronic Code Book mode, which is predictable
      for known input, and is not recommended.
