3 DES EDITOR v1.00 User Manual
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
══════════════════════
DES EDITOR allows you to edit your sensitive documents with
full security by keeping the edited file in the U.S.
Government Data Encryption Standard (DES) format. The edited
information is completely unreadable to anyone who does not
have your password(s).
Main features include:
File editing with transparent DES encryption, Multi-file
editing; mouse support; undo; clipboard cut, copy and paste;
search and replace; automatic DES to ASCII and ASCII to DES
file conversion.
Working with DES Editor is simple, and similar to other text
editors. To edit a document, simply type:
E <password>.
DES EDITOR functions as a "normal" text editor with the
following differences:
1. To edit files you need to choose an eight character
password. DES EDITOR will use this password in the
Encrypt/Decrypt operation.
2. After editing a new file with a password, you will need to
use exactly the same password if you want to edit this
file again. (But whenever needed, you can convert any DES
EDITOR file to an ASCII format, and any ASCII file to DES
EDITOR format)
3. The Encrypt/Decrypt operations are done automatically, and
are transparent to the user.
AND MOST IMPORTANT ...
4. Everything you edit with the DES EDITOR is available for
you eyes only! No one else will be able to read the edited
information.

E <cr>
The PASSWORD menu will be displayed. Enter your password (any
eight printable characters) in the PASSWORD menu, and press OK.
