start off the encryption; this is a string of the same length as the

306

ciphering algorithm's block size, and is passed to the ``new()``

function. There is also a special PGP mode, which is an oddball

variant of CFB used by the PGP program. While you can use it in

non-PGP programs, it's quite non-standard.
