Andrew, I did not answer you question You asked Meanwhile, just a quick thought, if I remember right you said something like "I can't use cygwin crypt(), because it is not unix-compatible", well how many crypt()'s out there on Solaris, Linux, HP, digital alpha are compatible?? My answer :- As I recall the crypt command in all Unix works the same way e.g. if I want to encrypt a file, I would use crypt crypt_password < file_you_want_to_encrypt > encrypted_file
and to decrypt file, you would issue command crypt crypt_password encrypted_file but the same thing does not work in cygwin. The purpose of crypt command in cygwin is different than the purpose of crypt command in unix. I have no idea why it is different but it is.

Meanwhile, just a quick thought, if I remember right you said something like "I can't use cygwin crypt(), because it is not unix-compatible", well how many crypt()'s out there on Solaris, Linux, HP, digital alpha are compatible?? Or is it me being on the wrong line?? Using mcrypt on the unix-machine and cygwin probably does the same thing..
