PVT will take a text file and encrypt it to a 4-letter password
you provide. The resulting file can only be viewed with PVTView.
PVT SYNTAX:
PVT filename.ext
PVT creates a file with the same base name, but with the extension
".PVT". If the file already has the PVT extension, or a file of
that name already exists, IT WILL BE OVERWRITTEN. The maximum
original file length is about 40k bytes.
PVTView can be used as a normal ASCII file viewer, but when it
encounters a file scrambled with PVT, it asks for your password
and unscrambles the file. A bad password will result in an
unreadable view. The file remains in encrypted form and
unchanged.
The maximum target file length is about 40k.
PVTView Syntax:
PVTView filename.ext
Try PVTView with both the PVT.DOC (This file) and the PVT.PVT file
(this file scrambled by PVT with the password "TEST")
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PVT 1.2 update:
Print Screen is now disabled in PVTView when viewing a Private
file.
PVT can be aborted by pressing <Esc> during password entry, or
with a password of four spaces.
Password calculation enhanced.
