File Encryption Utility
by Nick Smith

This program allows files to be encryptedusing a specified password, so that they cannot be read until they are decrypted with the same password.

When run, this program installs an icon on the icon bar. Dragging a file icon to this icon will result in a dialogue box being displayed. You should enter a password (which will be shown as a series of asterisks), and then save the file in the usual way. The program will then save an encoded version of the file. The password is not restricted to letters, but may contain any printable character, including a space. Note that you will not be allowed to overwrite the original file with the encoded version.

To recover an encoded file, repeat the above procedure using the same password. The result will be a decoded version of the file. The password is retained until it is changed by the user or the program is terminated. If you forget the password after the application has been terminated, you will not be able to recover the encoded version.

Note: This program will work with any filetyped file, but not with Load/Exec type files.
