Michael,Andrew,Christopher and Corinna Thanks very much for your response. I have openssl installed, but I would really appreciate, if you can tell me how to use for my requirement. My requirement is, I have a simple text file which has some sensitive information, and I want encrypt this file this file using some password and similarly decrypt the file using the same password. The vi -x filename, command will not work because these steps should be done in shell scripts. Is it possible to do the same in openssl ?. Thanks for your help. Sanjay

If compatibility with Solaris crypt is not an issue, then I recommend to use OpenSSL - this comes with a command-line tool, appropriately called "openssl". No porting required - just install the latest openssl package using setup.exe. - Michael -- I always wondered about the meaning of life.
