- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Welcome to Crypto!
-
- Crypto is a encryption utility which may wipe out source
- files, launch decrypted files and automatically re-encrypt
- them after modification.
-
- After I've read 'Murgan's Musings' in Palmtop's issue 18
- I've wondered how difficult it is to write an encryption
- utility for the EPOC platform. - I know that such a
- program already exists, but I was more interested in the
- making than in the result.
-
- I'm using Crypto myself for managing a simple database
- with tons of logins, passwords and other figures I'm
- supposed to know by heart. A perfect job for my little
- brain extension - my beloved Series 5.

- Installation
- ------------
-
- Crypto is distributed as .zip file containing the following
- .sis installation file:
-
- - Crypto.sis for EPOC Computer (e.g. Serie 5)
- - CryptoEmulator.sis for EPOC Emulator R5 on a PC
-
- To install Crypto from your 32-bit MS-Windows PC, double
- click on the .sis file and follow the instructions.
-
- To install Crypto from your EPOC machine or the EPOC
- Emulator, launch the .sis file and follow the
- instructions.
-
- After the installation a new icon should appear in your
- extras bar.
-
- Grap a copy of the appropriate installation program from my
- web site http://salvis.com/ when your PsiWin release or
- your EPOC machine does not support .sis files.
-
- Important: The old EPOC Emulator Release 3 is not supported
- ********* anymore. Please download the new Emulator from
- http://www.epocworld.com/ - the OPL or JAVA SDK
- are relatively 'small' and include a full working
- Emulator. They may be downloaded for free by
- EpocWorld members and the membership is free too.
- The new emulator is definitely better than the
- old one and is highly recommended!
