******************************************************
Encrypt-it! for the Psion Series 5 v3.0
March 1, 2000
******************************************************
Please read this file, it contains important information about the program.
I kept this readme short because most people don't like long manuals. Please
also read the Help file included with the program.
Encrypt-it! is a high security file encryption/decryption utility for all of
your files. Use it to password-protect business and personal files, E-mail
attachments, contact lists or anything else. It is sophisticated yet easy to
use. With all the algorithms programmed in C++, Encrypt-it! is the fastest
and highest security encryption utility ever featured on a Psion palmtop!
The program is intended to run on the Psion Series 5, 5mx, 7, Revo, netBook,
Ericsson MC-218 and other EPOC palmtop computers.
WHAT'S NEW?
***********
v3.0: * The dialogs are now correctly displayed on the smaller screen of
the Psion Revo, too.
* If you wish, the program can automatically compact Data files prior
to encryption to keep these files tidy. This option can be turned
on in the Preferences dialog (default=off).
* For added security, after a specified time the program will close
the document that it has launched before via Quick Update. Great
option if you launch a document just to look up something, but
forget to close it. This option can be turned on and the delay adj-
usted in the Preferences dialog (default=off).
* Encrypt-it! can now launch text files by automatically loading
them into a Word file. For this option set the file type to "Text
file" in the main dialog.
* TomeRaider files are recognised by the Quick Update routine. Create
huge personal databases with the TomeBinder package, then encrypt
them. Quick updating these files is reasonably fast, a 1 MB file
takes 9 seconds to decrypt and launch (Series 5mx).
* The default file type can now be set in the Preferences. Useful if
you work with e.g. VReader5 files 90% of the time.
* The program now starts slightly faster. Tip: when using Quick
Update you don't even have to wait for the password entry dialog to
appear, you can start typing the password right after you click on
the file. The password will be there by the time the dialog appears.
The complete history can be found in the Help.
INSTALLATION
************
1) Encrypt-it! comes in either ZIP file or a SIS installation package.
The SIS package includes all language variants, but only your choice
will be installed, using the Add/Remove control panel.
If you don't have this control panel yet, you can download it at
http://www.psion.com/downloads/epoc32/add_remove_control_panel/
2) If you upgrade from an earlier version, delete all the old files from
the folder \system\apps\encrypt except of the file "encrypt.reg". Be
sure to delete encrypt.ini, otherwise the new version won't start.
3) Copy the SIS file into any folder on your Series 5, highlight it and
press enter. The program will be automatically installed. If you are
installing from a ZIP file, first unzip it, then copy all files to a
folder called \system\apps\encrypt, except the files "piqinfo.opo",
"piqinfo.mbm" and "piqinfo.rsc", these files should go to the folder
\system\opl, while the files "encrypt.opx" and "sysram1.opx" should
go to the folder \system\opx.
4) You are now ready to run ENCRYPT-IT! It's icon should appear on the
Extras bar, so just click on it! Please read the Help file before you
use the program.
5) Convert your old encrypted files (versions 1.5 and before) to the new
version (versions 2.0 and above). First run the file "decrypt.opo" in
the \system\apps\encrypt folder to decrypt all these files, then
encrypt them again using the single mode or batch mode of the new
version of the program.
If you are certain that all your files are encrypted using the new
version, you can delete the file "decrypt.opo" to save disk space.
