Encode/Decode v1.25


	Decode and Encode are simple encryption and decryption methods that I have written. 
After reading many people asking for password protection that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, I 
wrote these two programs. Encode will encrypt a file with a password you pick. If you try to encrypt 
the same program using Encode again the program will halt to tell you that the program is already 
locked. You can use Decode to make the file readable again. Decode will not let you decode a file 
that isn't already encoded using Encode.
	

	The syntax for Encode is : ENCODE <FILENAME> <PASSWORD>

	The password should be six letters, digits or a combination of both. It is recommended that
you use a combination of letters and digits since it is harder to break than regular names or 
words.
	The syntax for Decode is : DECODE <FILENAME> <PASSWORD>

	If the password is incorrect the program will decode the file and terminate normally.
	

	Encode and Decode are SHAREWARE and a $5.00 registration fee is requested if you 
decide to use them past 30 days. I appreciate the interest in my work and you will receive any 
updates to the programs along with notices of my other DOS based programs. To fill out the 
registration form print the REGISTER.DOC file and send it to the address at the bottom of the form.
