2154.0. "file encryption...?" by NZOV01::MCKENZIE (Nuke the Leprechaun!) Tue Jan 24 1989 20:46

    hi - is there any utility around for encrypting data files
    
    I am doing some programming for a friend and he asked if it is possible
    to "scramble" data in a random-access file created from amiga basic...
    
    I'm sure I remember seeing something along those lines on the extras
    disks but for the life of me - I cant find it!
    
    
    ideas???

    The Gizmoz 2.0 Productivity Set (bunch of cute desktop-type stuff)
    includes an encryption program.

Just a note for anyone else who may need to use file encryption

I used GIZMOZ file Encryption utility and all it does is encrypt
and de-encrypt a file - you CAN NOT read the file whilst it
is encrypted which is not a lot of use - I really need something
I can use to encrypt data - then define field values of all records
and compile this into an object.....

I guess thats asking too much
