If you want to do password protection you can use a one way hash such as Md5 or SHA-1. Otherwise there is a large range of Ciphers which are as strong as your key is secure. Finally, I have some Public Key Crypto routines, but I doubt you will want those. PS : The site also has a Delphi Group archive. I use it because it stops the inbox from clogging up, and still allows me to read messages when I want to. You can list the last day/week/month. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
