Re: [Gambas-user] CRYPT function - a little help please?

Greetings, I don't see how it could be help in memory cuz it can still be verified after the system has been turned off. Why do I care? Inquiring minds just want to learn and know I guess;-) I would think that if a person is going to write a software program that implements something as

Re: [Gambas-user] CRYPT function - a little help please?

eGreetings, I THINK I understand that the "Crypt" function is used to encrypt a password that can be checked by challenging user input (asking to input the password). Verifies plain text against encrypted data - It can NOT be decrypted. ?1 = where does this encrypted file (or string) exist
