Keeps the honest people honest. Does simple XOR of text characters with user settable key. Creates a binary file with the extension .CRP containing the encrypted text. Binary files will be a little shorter than their ascii counterparts as there will be no CR/LF delimiters: only a length byte preceeding each "line" of binary characters. There is a 255 character limit on the text files, but no limit on the number of lines (up to the capacity of the disk). Drawbacks: This is nowhere near as secure as DES algorithm, although it is much faster. This unit won't keep the CIA / KGB out of your financial records for long, but it might work on your ex-wife and her laywer. Note: This unit uses the TPSTRING unit from Turbo Power. You could easily change this to use the OPSTRING unit or write your own Trim [trailing blanks] function. I wrote this for an automated test program to keep unauthorized people from changing the test specifications out on the assembly line. (You wouldn't want airplanes falling on your head, would you?) Suggested improvements: Allow other file extensions for input and output files. Modify this to work with binary input files. Modify the Mangle routine to not reset to the beginning of the key on each line of text. Public Domain, but be nice and give me credit if you use it in your own stuff. _Use at your own risk_ If the KGB de-encrypts your Mangled bowling scores, tough!
