Another question from that emacs pest (they'll die down when I have to go
back to doing real work on Monday :-).
I occured to me that k95 has all kinds of nifty cipher algorithms built into
it these days (at least the crypto version does) for encrypting
communications.
Is there any way I can use that encryption locally to do things like encrypt
and decrypt strings, or encrypt and decrypt files on disk? If foolish folk
want to store their passwords on disk, it might be nice if they could at
least use the best encryption kermit has to offer when they do it (or would
access to that violate terms of the export license you just got?).
I didn't notice anything obvious in "show functions" or in the security.htm
doc file (but if nothing else, I am serving as a good example of how many
different ways one person can overlook or misinterpret the docs - not that I
always have problems with them, I just don't ask here when I manage to dig
things up myself :-).
