I've just uploaded the source code of APOP here:

http://www.kallisys.com/files/newton/Utils/APOP-1.0-source.zip

You can directly include the APOP.ntkc binary file that is included
in this archive (with and without debug). It exports a function
called ComputeMD5Digest:

call APOP.ComputeMD5Digest with ( someString )

This returns a string with the md5 sum of the input string in
hexadecimal.

This function is fine for APOP and it should be fine for S/Key, but
please be aware that this project was literaly coded and built in
less than 2 hours. The limitations are the following (they're
mentioned in the comments, albeit in French) :

- the input is a Unicode String (UCS-2), but it is (virtually)
converted to ISO-8859-1. In other words, the high order 8 bits are
thrown out.
- you will only get the MD5 sum of the first 512 bytes.

If you have some knowledge of C, you might want to install Newton C++
Tools (APOP comes with a regular MPW Makefile) and work out on the
MD5 implementation to clean it up and optimize it. For example, it
might be interesting to work on a binary instead of working on a string.
