Re: Cipher Message (KM/KMC) alternative

[Jim Bohnsack]

Don--I don't remember if I had previously suggested this to you or to
someone else, but here it is anyway.  FCOPY has a GARBLE
option.  The program and technique are getting a little old now, but
it may be OK until you can get the hardware you need.  Here's some
HELP on it.
GARBLE       Will compress data within
the file,  and "garble" the data using a 
            
user supplied encryption key in such a manner that the file cannot 
            
be reconstructed without  specifying the proper encryption 
key. A 
            
read is issued  for the 8 character  key or the 
password  can  be 
            
be specified via the PASSWORD
option.                                                                                                             

PASSWORD yyy The password to be used for unpacking a garbled file 
or to garble 
            
a file  can be  specified  on the input line.  A
key  of  up to  8 
            
characters can be specified.
                                      

UNPACK       Reverses the  PACK,
or  GARBLE operation. If  the packed  file had 
            
been GARBLED,  then the user will  be prompted for  the
encryption 
            
key be to used in reconstructing the file.  Also will unpack files

            
packed by either the COPYFILE or TERSE functions.

Thanks Alan... the good news is... my eyes didn't glaze over.
