It is possible. You only have to remove from src/rdd/dbf1.c code
which blocks encryption when MEMO file is present.
It's enough to remove '!pArea->fHasMemo' from conditions in the folowing
lines:
   dbf1.c[536,599,1639,2141,2156]

What does it mean SAFE for you?
If you ask if it works then it works without any problems.
If you ask if it's strong encryption so your secret data are
safe then encryption used by SIX3 is not strong enough for
current standards. For sure it's not XOR or other trivial
algorithm but someone who has some a little bit more advanced
math knowledge should be able to break it.
