- * Crip for Windows 1.2 *
- ************************
-
- This program basically "scrambles" parts of a text file that are
- bounded by the string "*crip*". Once you protected the "private"
- information, only using crip again anyone will be able to read
- what was originally typed. For the encryption process, the user
- can also use a key for setting different types of conversion
- table used by the program. Crip was originally created by me to
- address messages to different friends that share the same mailbox.
- Since I usually type my messages on a PC and then upload the text
- file created to the Unix network, I experince problems between the
- characters that specify the end of line if I use the standard line
- feed of the PCs. The Unix machine only needs a char 10 instead of
- the characters 13 and 10. That is the reason for the checkbox for
- using or not the standard PC line feed for the output file. I do
- release this program as a Freeware... enjoy!
-
- With the version 1.2, I incorporated the option " Do fancier
- criptography " which uses an even better method of scrambling. The
- only reason why this is an option is because Crip for Windows
- version 1.0 does not understand "fancier criptography".
-
-
- Requirements:
- =============
-
- - Microsoft Windows 3.x
-
- - VBRUN300.DLL file installed in your windows\system directory
-
- More about Crip:
- ================
-
- - This program was made using Visual Basic 3.0. Therefore,
- you need to add the file "VBRUN300.DLL" that is distributed
- freely by Microsoft. You can easily get this file through
- BBS or anonymous FTP sites ( such as oak.oakland.edu and
- garbo.uwasa.fi ).
-
- - Since Crip was built to be used on messages sent over
- Internet, I made sure some characters on the ASCII table
- would NOT be used for the output file.
-
- - DO NOT use files that DO NOT have the characters 13 and
- 10 as line feed. This program can create output files
- with char 10 as line feed, but it does NOT handle
- very well an input file that doesn't have chars 13 and 10
- marking the end of each line. In other words, keep the "use
- standard line ouput check box" CHECKED unless you have a
- clear idea of what you are doing! :)
