The change is only to cmkdir, which creates the crypted directories. cattach recognizes the encryption scheme and chooses the right decoding/encoding scheme automagically. Of course, Blowfish is as secure as 3DES, and for me goes at 2MB/s, whereas 3DES decrypts/encrypts at about 300KB/s. I'll make the changes =) > > John > --- > John Polstra jdp@polstra.com > John D.
