                         ENKRYPT - Encrypt File 1.1


This utility encrypts one or more files with a user supplied password,
creating a new file or replacing the original file in the process.

Files encrypted in this way must be decrypted using the corresponding DEKRYPT
program from K-Tools Utilities, or by K-Tools Workplace version 2.0 or later.


USEAGE:

  ENKRYPT [sourcedir]sourcefiles [[targetdir][targetfiles]]

where:  sourcedir    is the location of the existing files, or the current
                     directory if blank

        sourcefiles  is the file to be encrypted, wildcards are accepted to
                     specify multiple files

        targetdir    is the destination location for the encrypted files, or
                     the same directory if blank

        targetfiles  is the new file name or names for the encrypted files,
                     wildcards are allowed for partial renaming of multiple
                     files, or blank if the names are to remain the same

Note that if no target directory or file name is specified then the original
files will be replaced by the encrypted versions.


EXAMPLES:

  ENKRYPT MYFILE.TXT *.TXX       will read MYFILE.TXT from the current
                                 directory and write an encrypted copy to
                                 MYFILE.TXX in the same directory

  ENKRYPT *.TXT *.TXX            will read all .TXT files from the current
                                 directory and write encrypted copies to
                                 *.TXX in the same directory

  ENKRYPT \DIR1\*.* \DIR2        will read all files from the \DIR1
                                 directory and write encrypted copies
                                 with the same name to the \DIR2 directory

  ENKRYPT MYFILE.DOC             will encrypt MYFILE.DOC in the current
                                 directory in place

  ENKRYPT *.*                    will encrypt all files in the current
                                 directory in place

When run, ENKRYPT will prompt you for a password, and then prompt again for
the password to be entered a second time to ensure there has been no typing
error.  If the first entered password is blank, or the second password does
not match the first password, then the encryption will be aborted.

Note that the password is case sensitive, so the password "aaa" is not the
same as "AAA".  Passwords may be up to 255 characters in length.

DO NOT FORGET THE PASSWORD.  AN ENCRYPTED FILE CANNOT BE DECRYPTED WITHOUT IT.

Files may be encrypted more than once with different passwords for even
greater protection.  Note that these files must then be decrypted using each
password in the opposite sequence as when they were encrypted.

Run ENKRYPT with no parameters or "?" or "/?" to display simple help and
registration information.
