- Changes in Encrypt-It v1.40 for Windows provides the following over v1.30:
-
- - Encryption/decryption up to 50% faster! Replaced the cyclic redundancy
- checks (CRC) routines with high speed assembly language versions using
- lookup tables. Result: Much faster encryption and decryption. However,
- this results in encrypted files that can't be decrypted by previous
- versions of Encrypt-It.
- - Expanded the file selections area to allow you to easily select or
- unselect all the files shown in the files listbox. For example, use a
- filename mask of *.~* to display all the encrypted files. Then, use the
- Select All option to quickly select all encrypted files in the current
- default directory.
- - Added additional code to catch the error condition where you may try to
- encrypt a zero length file (DOS will allow you to create a file without
- anything in it). Also added code for zero length statistics handling.
- - Improved the handling of international characters in paths, filenames,
- and keys.
- - Improved the handling of PgUp and PgDn while viewing file statistics.
- - Corrected a problem with the file statistics viewing where Alt+N for the
- next file could under rare conditions also call up the help screen.
- - Added a file called VENDORS.DOC to list additional sources for Encrypt-It.
- - Corrected a problem where Encrypt-It wasn't correctly picking up the
- destination file name from the Encrypt Multiple Files dialog box.
- - Other minor touchups to work better under the new Windows 3.1 upgrade.
- - Touched up encryption/decryption key handling to improve DOS/Windows
- compatibility when high ASCII characters are used in the key.
- - Removed version number from main menu caption bar to better conform to
- general Windows application appearance. The version number is still
- available under the Help About option.
- - Changed all menus and keyboard shortcut keys to automatically load when
- you load Encrypt-it. This uses a little more memory but results in
- faster execution.
- - Changed the File Overwrite dialog box that comes up when decrypting
- files and the destination file already exists. Previously it defaulted
- to the top edit field which was the path. Most of the time you will
- want to change the destination filename and keep the same output
- directory. This dialog box now defaults to the file's name.
- - Improved the free installation program that comes with the registered
- version to include Program Manager group selection, additional support
- for Windows 3.1, plus much more.
- - Fixed a bug in the statistics area where VERY large files in the megabyte
- range could generate statistics that exceeded the supported display values.
-
-
- Changes in Encrypt-It v1.41 for Windows provides the following over v1.40:
-
- - Changed the file selection from an extended selection list box to a
- multiple selection list box. With the select all and unselect all
- commands implemented as part of v1.40, the additional complexity of the
- extended select commands really aren't needed. This change was requested
- by users and we feel all users may find this area easier to use thanks to
- the simplification.
- - Added a program preferences option under the file pulldown. You can now
- specify common preferences for encryption and decryption. They can be
- saved to a file and automatically used each time you run Encrypt-It.
- The file will always be saved in the Encrypt-It startup directory.
-
-
- Changes in Encrypt-It v1.42 for Windows provides the following over v1.41:
-
- - The file selection dialog box supports double clicking on the file list
- to indicate that you want to use only the selected file. Users were
- accidentally initiating this action when quickly selecting multiple files.
- The operation of the file list has been changed to accept double clicks
- ONLY if there aren't multiple files selected. You can still double click
- to work with a single file, for multiple files you have to manually say
- you are done.
- - Added destination path validation to the encrypt and decrypt dialog boxes.
- Encrypt-It will now catch all invalid paths while you are still in the
- encrypt and decrypt dialog boxes allowing easy correction.
- - Expanded the built-in help to provide answers to some commonly asked
- questions.
- - Expanded the statistics area to have first and last file options. You
- can use the menu or the numeric keypad Home and End keys.
- - Greatly speeded up the perfomance and randomness of the Make Key option
- on the encrypt dialog box.
- - Other minor touchups.
-
-
- Changes in Encrypt-It v1.43 for Windows provides the following over v1.42:
-
- - The File Remove option is now grayed when no longer available. Previously
- only items on its popup menu were grayed/disabled.
- - Added additional tests to delay automatic key clearing during multi-tasking
- operations so that it will occur ONLY after all files are encrypted or
- decrypted. Previously VERY VERY long encryption/decryptions of over 10
- minutes could cause the key to be automatically cleared before all the
- selected files were encrypted or decrypted.
-
-
- Changes in Encrypt-It v1.44 for Windows provides the following over v1.43:
-
- - Added easy keyboard selection of buttons for many of the dialog boxes.
- - Other minor touchups.
