Rot13 is considered a form of encryption yet merely shifts the frequency of certain letters. One can also compress the data before encypting it. There are also a wide range of encyption algorithms as well as compression tools these days that render that statement untrue. e. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
