BTW, here's a fun trick to do really easily breakable encryption, but enough to stop people from prying at your ASCII files... vim -x filename It will ask you for a passphrase, and save out the encrypted. Pretty basic encryption (see notes below), but simple and easy to use. 'Course, armored ASCII and gpg is not much more difficult. Here's what the Vim docs say on this its encryption: Note: The swapfile and text in memory are not encrypted. A system administrator will be able to see your text while you are editing it. The algorithm used is breakable. A 4 character key in about one hour, a 6 character key in one day (on a Pentium 133 PC). This requires that you know some text that must appear in the file. An expert can break it for any key. Pkzip uses the same encryption, and US Govt has no objection to its export. Pkzip's public file APPNOTE.TXT describes this algorithm in detail. -- Rob <rob_at_euglug_dot_net> my @euglugCode = qw(v+++ e--- eug+ bsd+++ gnu+ S+++);
