My friend is looking to put some "financial" records up on Dropbox in a way
that they can't be compromised. He acts as a pseudo-admin for a local
church and, though he hasn't said so, it's possible some of these records
may be for them.  I know in the past he has had to deal with a combination
of MAC / Windows environments for his administration, so I felt this was an
un-stated requirement, which the AESCrypt web site seems to cover.  He has
barely tinkered with Linux so far, and I doubt he could convince the church
(if they are in fact a part of this issue) to change operating systems.
