Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.

\bimodindex{crypt}
This module implements an interface to the crypt(\strong{3}) routine,
which is a one-way hash function based upon a modified DES algorithm;
see the \UNIX{} man page for further details. Possible uses include
allowing Python scripts to accept typed passwords from the user, or
attempting to crack \UNIX{} passwords with a dictionary.
\index{crypt(3)}
\setindexsubitem{(in module crypt)}
\begin{funcdesc}{crypt}{word\, salt}
\var{word} will usually be a user's password. \var{salt} is a
2-character string which will be used to select one of 4096 variations
of DES. The characters in \var{salt} must be either \code{.},
\code{/}, or an alphanumeric character. Returns the hashed password
as a string, which will be composed of characters from the same
alphabet as the salt.
\end{funcdesc}
The module and documentation were written by Steve Majewski.
