- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- Maybe you know "passwd" by Ulrich and Eric Hambuch. This program is
- able to password protect executeable files. If a protected file is
- launched, the user has to enter the correct password in a small
- window in order to run it.
-
- DePassword is able to show the password and/or completely remove
- the password protection from those files. It has been tested up to
- passwd V1.4.
-
- Even though passwd is a good way to protect programs against being
- executed by unexperienced users, it is by FAR not that tough as it
- is said by the authors.
-
- Note that DePassword is a one-night-hack. I didn't put much effort
- in it, so don't expect a beautiful GUI or an exemplary error handling.
- But anyhow, it does its duty.
