Changes in Encrypt-It v1.40 for Windows provides the following over v1.30:
- Encryption/decryption up to 50% faster! Replaced the cyclic redundancy
checks (CRC) routines with high speed assembly language versions using
lookup tables. Result: Much faster encryption and decryption. However,
this results in encrypted files that can't be decrypted by previous
versions of Encrypt-It.
- Expanded the file selections area to allow you to easily select or
unselect all the files shown in the files listbox. For example, use a
filename mask of *.~* to display all the encrypted files. Then, use the
Select All option to quickly select all encrypted files in the current
default directory.
- Added additional code to catch the error condition where you may try to
encrypt a zero length file (DOS will allow you to create a file without
anything in it). Also added code for zero length statistics handling.
- Improved the handling of international characters in paths, filenames,
and keys.
- Improved the handling of PgUp and PgDn while viewing file statistics.
- Corrected a problem with the file statistics viewing where Alt+N for the
next file could under rare conditions also call up the help screen.
- Added a file called VENDORS.DOC to list additional sources for Encrypt-It.
- Corrected a problem where Encrypt-It wasn't correctly picking up the
destination file name from the Encrypt Multiple Files dialog box.
- Other minor touchups to work better under the new Windows 3.1 upgrade.
- Touched up encryption/decryption key handling to improve DOS/Windows
compatibility when high ASCII characters are used in the key.
- Removed version number from main menu caption bar to better conform to
general Windows application appearance. The version number is still
available under the Help About option.
- Changed all menus and keyboard shortcut keys to automatically load when
you load Encrypt-it. This uses a little more memory but results in
faster execution.
- Changed the File Overwrite dialog box that comes up when decrypting
files and the destination file already exists. Previously it defaulted
to the top edit field which was the path. Most of the time you will
want to change the destination filename and keep the same output
directory. This dialog box now defaults to the file's name.
- Improved the free installation program that comes with the registered
version to include Program Manager group selection, additional support
for Windows 3.1, plus much more.
- Fixed a bug in the statistics area where VERY large files in the megabyte
range could generate statistics that exceeded the supported display values.
Changes in Encrypt-It v1.41 for Windows provides the following over v1.40:
- Changed the file selection from an extended selection list box to a
multiple selection list box. With the select all and unselect all
commands implemented as part of v1.40, the additional complexity of the
extended select commands really aren't needed. This change was requested
by users and we feel all users may find this area easier to use thanks to
the simplification.
- Added a program preferences option under the file pulldown. You can now
specify common preferences for encryption and decryption. They can be
saved to a file and automatically used each time you run Encrypt-It.
The file will always be saved in the Encrypt-It startup directory.
Changes in Encrypt-It v1.42 for Windows provides the following over v1.41:
- The file selection dialog box supports double clicking on the file list
to indicate that you want to use only the selected file. Users were
accidentally initiating this action when quickly selecting multiple files.
The operation of the file list has been changed to accept double clicks
only if there aren't multiple files selected. You can still double click
to work with a single file, for multiple files you have to manually say
you are done.
- Added destination path validation to the encrypt and decrypt dialog boxes.
Encrypt-It will now catch all invalid paths while you are still in the
encrypt and decrypt dialog boxes allowing easy correction.
- Expanded the built-in help to provide answers to some commonly asked
questions.
- Expanded the statistics area to have first and last file options. You
can use the menu or the numeric keypad Home and End keys.
- Greatly speeded up the perfomance and randomness of the Make Key option
on the encrypt dialog box.
- Other minor touchups.
