---------------------------------------------------------------------
Blowfish for OS/2 is a fast and secure file encryption/decryption utility. It
is based on the public domain "Blowfish" encryption algorithm, and has had a
world-wide user base since 1994. Best of all, it's free.
The features include:
* Simple command-line interface.
* Robust object-oriented design.
* Strong encryption with a variable length key - from 8 to 448 bits.
* Will encrypt hidden, system, or read-only files.
* Fast encryption, optimized for Pentium processor.
* Programmer's interface - add encryption to your own software.
And now, with version 1.60:
* Support for wildcard filenames and subdirectory searches.
* Built in file compression - save hard disk space.
* Optional secure file overwrite - original file cannot be un-deleted.
Blowfish for OS/2 is available from the following FTP sites:
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/archiver/bfish160.zip
ftp://ftp-os2.cdrom.com/pub/os2/secure/bfish160.zip
(check the /incoming directories if not found).
