- Super File Encryptor (v4.01) by TC Software REGISTRATION ($20.00)
-
- (Abstracted from the program documentation)...
-
- A file encryptor, as you may already know, is used to make your file
- unreadable or unusable. I had always wanted a program for encrypting
- my letters and journals so none of my overinquisitive friends and
- family could read them. I had used other shareware encryptors, but
- being a born hacker, I decided to write my own with the features I
- wanted.
- - - -
- To run SFE, just type SFE at your DOS prompt. For encrypting large
- files, a harddrive is highly recommended because it creates a
- temporary file while encrypting. If you are using a floppy drive,
- make sure that the free space is at least the size of the file you
- want to encrypt.
- - - -
- There are five levels of encryption. Level 1, the least complex and
- the fastest, is recommended for most of the files you want to encrypt;
- level 1 is the default. Levels 2-5 are much slower and more complex
- providing greater protection.
- - - -
- While encrypting, SFE displays the percentage encrypted, the file size
- of the file being encrypted, and the level of encryption. When it is
- done encrypting, it will erase the original file by writing a bunch of
- zeroes over the file. This prevents unwanted hackers from using a
- sector editor (a way of looking at the contents of your disk) to see
- your original document.
- - - -
- Decrypting a file is similar to encrypting, just remember your
- password. If you choose to decrypt a file that is not encrypted, you
- need not worry, SFE will not decrypt it.
- - - -
- Selecting files is a nice feature. A screen appears that displays the
- files of the directory you are in. To move through the files use your
- up and down arrow keys. To highlight or unhighlight a file, use the
- SPACEBAR; this will place or remove an asterisk next to the file. You
- can highlight as many as you want. When you are done, and have chosen
- at least one file, you can proceed to encrypt them by providing one
- password that each will share.
- - - -
- This software will run on an IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible. It has been
- tested on a Tandy 1000, a Tandy 1000 SX, a Tandy 1000 TX (a 286
- machine), and a MITAC 386/16 Mhz. 128K of RAM as required. It will
- also run in either Monochrome or Color.
