	I am just getting used to RIPEM, using version 1.0.2 for 386 msdos,
and I have a question: Is it necessary, if one goofs, let's say in answering
the password, for decrypting or maybe encrypting, while an -o option was
specified followed by the name of the file on the command line, for RIPEM
to exit by writing a file with 0 bytes? I am not really complaining, but
was wondering if that is a good idea?

You're right--it's not a good idea.  I'll add this to the
list of things to change in RIPEM.
