if anyone comes up with a solution to the bbs encryption problem then get to me ... i plan on starting a Waffle based BBS that may have "sensitive" information on line in subs and in files... you all know the story... well if i could have this encryption feature i would be most happy... i have looked into this a bit but to my suprise it has comeup on the list... as for the problem of d distribution of the program the would encryp and decrypt via modem and bbs, i have that pretty much taken care of already... thanks Clovi /s ^ been bbsing for too long
