* Greetings -

If I remember well, the @ sign is not allowed in a key. This should be
an easy fix. There is no real reason for it, we just had to decide on
a set of letters that were allowed in a key and the @ sign did not
seem useful at the time. David Kessens, current keeper of the
software, should be able to change it or tell you where to change it.
