Sources for compatable crypt for XENIX

I am after  a crypt function that produces an encryption code that is compatable
with the encryptions produced by the standard XENIX facilities such as passwd
and used by programs such as su and login. I an not trying to hack the crypt
process I am just trying to write a front end processor and it would be nice if
I could get away with using just 1 password file (/etc/passwd) as it would 
make life just so much easier. I do not understand why the crypt facility was
not included as a library function in XENIX. With thanks in advance for any
possible assistance.

p.s. Could anybody please mail me direct and not make a reply via news if they
are able to offer any help, particularly C source code.

Again thanks in advance.
