Howie,
I would agree with getting off the net is impossible, that is why I
presented #2, change the basic encryption scheme to something different,
there are plenty of methods to encrypt a file that have a user-defined key
that are fast...so just change to a different method, now it might only take
a week or two for someone to crack that too, but some type of effort by MM
to combat this is necessary...

It's no secret:
Matt Chapman ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
And, if you search the net you'll find it all over the place (including
source code) so getting it off the net is not going to
happen. I've even seen it offered as shareware (if you can believe that!)

The problem with the cf encryption is that it needs to be fast and have a
know key so this type of encrypton can be compromised.
