You can get it from someplace where it is already outside of the USA or 
Canada (like maybe http://zerblatt.optiva.ee/pub/crypto/code/sapphire.zip) 
without breaking any U. S. or German laws. Even though someone obviously 
broke the law to export it once so that it eventually got posted in 
Estonia, I have no idea who that was. It wasn't me. I still can't legally 
export it directly to you, but if you find a sapphire.zip file anywhere you 
can legally get it from containing the following files, digitally signed by 
me with MD5SUM and PGP, then you have what you asked for.

  MAKEFILE       Make file used to compile this set of files.
  MPJ8.ASC       Michael Paul Johnson's PGP public key.

                 the Sapphire II Stream Cipher.  Free viewer available
                 from Microsoft.
  SAPPHIRE.H     API for SAPPHIRE.CPP.
  SAPPHIRE.PS    Postscript version of SAPPHIRE.DOC.
  SAPPHIRE.TXT   Plain ASCII text version of SAPPHIRE.DOC (no pictures).
  SAPPTEST.CPP   Test program for sapphire stream cipher (C++ source).
  STEST.EXE      Test program for sapphire stream cipher (compiled).
  STEST.PAS      Test program for sapphire stream cipher (Pascal source).
