  When I wrote 'better' I meant 'better' not 'perfect'.  Using a code book
that is easily read by anyone is never going to give top level security.
However, it is an easy step that would give a little more trouble to
those listening in.

  Note that a 100 Mb file yields more than 100 million possible bit strings
because the strings do not have to byte aligned.
