Is there an | Intuit bboard where someone could post instructions? Of course, it would be *much* easier to store Quicken + data files on an encrypted filesystem (Cryptdisk or SFS). To start quicken, the user starts Cryptdisk, runs Quicken on his encrypted files (now transparently available), and then quits. Cryptdisk disappears 5 minutes later. Thus, Intuit isn't putting crypto calls which might be illegal into their code. They maintain a single code base, a single version in the warehouses, and continue to lobby Congress to change the laws. (Quicken gets stored on the encrypted area so that it won't start up and say 'where are my data files?') Naturally, this works with programs other than Quicken.

Is there an > Intuit bboard where someone could post instructions? This is a good idea. I'll bring it up with the appropriate people. Right now, we only have some cheesy forums going on Compuserve and Prodigy; however, keep your eyes peeled. We have other stuff in the works. - Mark - -- Mark Chen chen@intuit.com 415/329-6913 finger for PGP public key D4 99 54 2A 98 B1 48 0C CF 95 A5 B0 6E E0 1E 1D
