I don't know how to write drivers in Windows, especially in Delphi (I don't
even think that's possible - in Delphi, I mean).

I don't know enough about these to write something like that; however, if
someone is willing to write a "shell" for an Yarrow DLL, of a structure that
you (or Bruce, or anybody) is willing to establish, I'd be more than happy
to change my Delphi implementation accordingly.
Speaking of which - does anybody have any hints on how to determine the
entropy of an input string? [Needed in Yarrow, and so far I don't know how
to do it - my implementation multiplies the length of the input string (in
bits) with a constant, which is way too "crude".]
