Nothing :(

I just used the 16 character (and more) key but nothing, openssl complains 
when I pass a -K without a -iv should I use -k instead? 

so far I can't decrypt anything with the cli that was encrypted with the lib, 
is there any documentation about that? for rc4 or similar ciphers? (no iv)

thanks
