encrypt v0.0.2.14 (0.1.0.0 beta)

support has now been re-added for command line parameters, they work like this

	encrypt [source file] [password] [decrypted file name]

If (only) a source file is passed then you will be prompted for either
encryption or decryption, a password, and if decrypting, a target file name.

If a source file and a password are passed then the process is treated as
encryption, and finally if all three are passed then the source file will be
decrypted to the decrypted file name.  It does this because when encrypting a
file it creates the file name from a mix of data taken from the password and
the source file name.

There is a method to the above madness, you'll all see :p

Also, a technique for encrypting your files and keeping them from increasing
in size at all: after encrypting an files, decrypt them using a different
password, this way, the total number of bytes in the file will be the same as
the original file (check the source code to see how this is), but the data
will be incoherent.  Unfortunatly this means remembering 2 passwords!  We're
working on building this function in to the next release.

Otherwise, this is a pretty stable release, now getting close to an official
non-beta type release.

Later...



encrypt v0.0.2.6 (0.1.0.0 beta)

encrypt has now moved from two files to one, thus the overall project size has
been reduced; due to sharing of variables and functions.

The redundant loop when the encrypted file name was generated has been fix.

The reason for moving the project to one file was to allow functions to be
called from multiple files.  This should help as we build a GUI font-end to
allow you, the end-users, to compile encrypt with either a GUI or console
interface.

We're also working on a prober Windows Installer, with help from the Nullsoft
Scriptable Install System, which is why this is a source code only release.

Enjoy, and let us know about any bugs, etc.
