it >only< works with ascii pfiles. there's no way to unencrypt a
password that's
encrypted (unless, of course, you're a cryptology genius). how is this
possible
that you can't unencrypt things?, you ask. well, you type in your
password,
and it encrypts your input. then it compares your encrypted input with
the already
encrypted password stored on file. anyone know how to unencrypt? please
share.
