What I am brian_731> looking for is some code samples. Have you looked at how you read in test.enc? You see, since you got it encoded with Base64 (that's what the -a flag does), you need to decode the contents of test.enc using the Base64 BIO and feed the result to AES_decrypt(). I know you're looking for code samples. Unofortunately, my time is too short to provide that, but I thought a hint in the right direction could still help.
