I posted a request recently, and later realized there were probably a bunch
of angry people with bounced e-mail, trying to answer my question. Oops, I
misspelled my e-mail address! What a dunderhead! Sorry.

I did get two responses, but not what I was looking for. Source code does
me no good right now. We don't have the time to deal with it. I'm looking
for applications, whether freeware, shareware, buyware, makes no
difference.

To reiterate: "Does anyone know of a multi-platform encryption package(s),
for Mac, PC, and UNIX, that have user definable keys? We would like to post
files to public
servers, for retrieval by our clients, without the risk of their being
decyphered. Recommendations appreciated."

Multi-platform was a bad choice of words. What we need are individual
packages that will run on Mac, PC, and UNIX, and function compatibly. DES
encryption would be fine, preferably with X.913 user definable or
psuedo-random keys. The requirement needs to support both ASCII and binary
files.
