BTW, I think you can simplify test_parse. For example, you write "if (*argn + 2 < argc ...)" many times, but it should be possible to test this condition only once per loop. Optimised. Perhaps compiler optimised this anyway but it made code more readable Regards, Okuji __

Correct. Stronger encryption is offered by loop-aes [1], and it also has a simper on-disk format. The main problem an encryption solution should address is where the keys are stored. A password only based encryption is considered weak. Placing the keys on external media, such as USB Mass storag
