- 1. Introduction
- ===============
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- XCrypt is a short, handy, and easy-to-use Cryptor tool that makes
- use of the crypt libraries supplied with the XPK package.
-
- You may use either the FEAL or the IDEA algorythm, whereby IDEA
- is preferred by default.

- 2.1. System requirements
- ------------------------
-
- System requirements
- -------------------
-
- You need Kickstart 2.0 or higher to run XCrypt. In addition to
- that, XCrypt requires the xpkmaster.library and at least the
- xpkIDEA.library.
-
-
- 2.2. Shell usage
- ----------------
-
- Shell usage
- -----------
-
-
- You cannot start XCrypt from the Workbench, it's a shell tool!
-
-
- Template: XCrypt SOURCE/A,FEAL/S,PW/K/A,QUIET/S
-
- You must specify at least a source file and a password that will
- be used for (de)cryption. The PW keyword has to be specified.
-
- Example: XCrypt dh1:SecretData.TXT PW SafeForEver
-
- this will (de)crypt the file SecretData.TXT using the password
- "SafeForEver". If XCrypt detects that the input file is already
- crypted, it will decrypt it using the specified password.
-
- Keep in mind that the source and destination files are
- identical, that means the original file will be overwritten. You
- better don't forget the password used for encryption - otherwise
- all data are lost forever.
-
- Additionally, you may specify the FEAL keyword. XCrypt will then
- use the FEAL algorythm instead of IDEA. Last not least you can
- use the QUIET keyword for suppressing any text output.
-
-
- 2.3. DirectoryOpus installation
- -------------------------------
-
-
- DirectoryOpus installation
- --------------------------

-
- Flags: Rescan source
