OS/2 encryption utilities

Due to the fact that I have been threatened by the Church of Scientology
with legal action if I do not cease and desist posting encheferated
parodies of their secret scripture (per a letter I received from Cult
attorneys via Federal Express today) I am in search of OS/2 disk
encryption programs.

If you can help, please respond asap with suggestions.

Thank you,
Deana M. Holmes

Were I a Co$ attorney, I would use this to bring discovery violations 
if I took you to court.

I'm not saying they would pass muster, but they sure would be annoying.

So far as I know, there is (so far) no encrypted IFS (e.g. CFS)
available for OS/2.  There are a few decent file encryption utilities,
however, including Blowfish, DES, and Quipu, all available at Hobbes.

The current version of Blowfish (ported by Matthew Spencer) seems
pretty decent: it's fast (about 200 KBytes/s on my DX2) and easy to
use (command line, not WPS).

This is what I'd suggest.

DES encryption is available in
	ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/diskutil/des_os2.zip

and, with a WPS front end, in
	ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/wpsutil/pcsec22.zip

I don't know much about Quipu (Michael Mieves), but you can find it at
	ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/diskutil/quipu10.zip
