Woo Hoo!  Definitely send the crypto stuff to Ares if Sean will have it.  I
have a blowfish algorithm that I'm working on - not sure how it stacks up with
'r's version, but a consistent API for all of the crypto algorithms would be
great.

encryptString(char|wchar|dchar)
decryptString(char|wchar|dchar)

encryptFile()
decryptFile()

I'm not sure if this 'consistent' API is possible given the differences in the
crypto libs, or if it's a good idea at all.
