- *** Hello everybody! This is the FILEENCRYPT documentation 13.09.1990
-
-
- First, a fairy tale...
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Once upon a time I found on a disk with GIZMOS-tools a
- FileEncryptor. It was fully equipped with gadgets and you could
- REALLY enter a *TOP SECRET* password, on which your file was
- operated. I was happy, because it worked so fine... Little bit
- later I tried to decrypt the same file via the same program and
- the same *TOP SECRET* password...
- Well, the result was a half encrypted original, decorated
- by several arbitrary combinations of !$%&/()s. This was really
- not what I wanted...
-
- So I wrote my own.
-
- I put special stress on the graphics, for the AMIGA is to
- the main part a visual machine, and I liked the idea of a key
- talking to you with a speech-bubble, like in a comic strip.
- Alas, not too many of small PublicDomain-programs use the
- graphics capabilities of the AMIGA, but I hope this will
- improve.
-
-
- What, what is this FILEENCRYPT thing doing ?
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- In simple words: it encrypts and decrypts any private file
- you like, in order not to be read by younger brothers or by
- anyone else in general.
-
-
- How to use FileEncrypt
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is the thing I really like, using graphics-oriented
- user surfaces: The user manuals can be *VERY* short, like this
- one:
-
- 'Simply use the gadgets. Period.'
-
-
- Technical Annotations
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- I wrote the program using AZTEC-C and I haven't tried to
- compile it using Lattice. The program can be run under CLI and
- Workbech as well. The source is supplied, except the parts of
- en- and decryption - which should be obviously a little bit
- hidden. All I'd like to admit is, that it uses the
- 'Kabbala-Shiva VIId' algorithm for encryption (ain't that a
- *REAL* catchy name, hm ?)
-

- Thanks to

- o Dan Silva.
-
- If you are left alone on an island with an AMIGA and a
- program of your choice it *MUST* be 'dPaint III'. The
- variety of functions is really crazy. No program -
- especially a painting program - is as useful as Dan's
- dPaint. Without it the AMIGA would be much less. And many
- other programming projects would never exist. Thank you SO
- much Dan!

- o Gregg Tavares, Los Angeles, California.
-
- He wrote a really good Brush-To-Icon programm(PD), that
- offers everything you need, and that never had let me down
- like some others I used.
-
- o Tim Kemp, Columbus, Ohio.
-
- He made a wonderful Brush-To-C-Code converter(PD), without
- the graphics in my program would never have been possible.
- Thank you Tim, it is really easy to use.

- Some final distribution notes:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Copy this program to everybody you know, share the fun we
- all have with the AMIGA, but you must not receive money in
- return. This program must be free.
-
- If you want to send money: Don't. Please feel free to send
- me a postcard instead. I would really like to know, to which
- (distant) places of this planet my programm has gone so far.
-
- This program must not be added to a commercial package
- without my written permission.
