* Crip for Windows 1.2 *
************************
This program basically "scrambles" parts of a text file that are
bounded by the string "*crip*". Once you protected the "private"
information, only using crip again anyone will be able to read
what was originally typed. For the encryption process, the user
can also use a key for setting different types of conversion
table used by the program. Crip was originally created by me to
address messages to different friends that share the same mailbox.
Since I usually type my messages on a PC and then upload the text
file created to the Unix network, I experince problems between the
characters that specify the end of line if I use the standard line
feed of the PCs. The Unix machine only needs a char 10 instead of
the characters 13 and 10. That is the reason for the checkbox for
using or not the standard PC line feed for the output file. I do
release this program as a Freeware... enjoy!
With the version 1.2, I incorporated the option " Do fancier
criptography " which uses an even better method of scrambling. The
only reason why I this as an option is because Crip for Windows
version 1.0 does not understand a "fancier criptography"
Requirements:
=============
- Microsoft Windows 3.x
- VBRUN300.DLL file installed in your windows\system directory
More about Crip:
================
- This program was made using Visual Basic 3.0. Therefore,
you need to add the file "VBRUN300.DLL" that is distributed
freely by Microsoft. You can easily get this file through
BBS or anonymous FTP sites ( such as oak.oakland.edu ).
- Since Crip was built to be used on messages sent over
Internet, I made sure some characters on the ASCII table
would NOT be used for the output file.
- DO NOT use files that DO NOT have the characters 13 and
10 as line feed. This program can create output files
with char 10 as line feed, but it does NOT handle
very well an input file that doesn't have chars 13 and 10
marking the end of each line. In other words, keep the "use
standard line ouput check box" CHECKED unless you have a
clear idea of what you are doing! :)
