Subject: Crypt-O upgrade
I've uploaded Crypt-O 1.2 to your site. This is an upgrade of Crypt-O 1.0
which I sent you a couple of weeks ago. Version 1.2 fixes some of the
problems version 1.0 had dealing with Multifinder and System 7.0. The
file selection dialogs have been slightly improved, also.
One minor nit to pick:
In your index.txt file, Crypt-O and Crypto (by John Lindal) are said to be
"similar". This may be true to the extent that a school-bus is similar to
a Porsche, but they are vastly different animals both in implementation
and purpose. Lindal's Crypto appears to be a tool to explore and
demonstrate the workings of the Hill cipher. It will only encrypt TEXT
files of <33K in size, has a challenging user interface, and was obviously
never meant for day-to-day use as a true data security utility. Crypt-O,
on the other hand, is a polished, user-friendly application designed for
serious data security on par with many of the commercially available
security utilities. It will encrypt all manner of Macintosh files and
applications, of all sizes, using a sophisticated DES-like encryption
scheme, and does so quickly and easily.
OK, enough raving...just don't want people to think in reading your index
that Crypt-O and Crypto operate in essentially the same way.
I didn't write or name Crypt-O, so I don't know what to tell you regarding
the title conflict between Crypt-O 1.2 and Lindal's Crypto 1.2 already at
your site...(?)
Thanks!
