Given how easy it is to code up an IDEA or mixed IDEA/DES multround beast, I see no real advantage to trying to build my own, and lots of disadvantages.
The program was designed to accept improvements in the encryption transparently, so I did plan ahead. :) I can add encryption algorythms, and have the software accept addresses of both the old and new ciphers. I didn't happen to have any DES/IDEA code handy when I was programming it, so I just used what I had. Since several people have expressed concern about the encryption, I will add another encryption layer consisting of either DES or IDEA.
