- I was wondering if anyone knows the algorithm used in arj for
- the encryption scheme. It appears to XOR the compressed text with some
- permutation of the password string (I suspect this is XOR'd with something
- else as well). If anyone knows, please email and I'll summarize, otherwise
- I'll just figure it out myself.
