Hello!

     :WARNING: Unless you read the History.txt file, you should know
               v1.6 is a development version and as such not necessarily
               compatible with the previous 1.5 official version.
               ... And by misfortune it is not due to the way files are
               delivered to the cipher code (twisted).
               So: You should avoid using it if you need compatibility
               with previous versions.
               (Future 1.7 will deal with both for your convenience)

               :Rule:
               This version MUST substitute previous 1.6 version BUT
               must NOT be used to decrypt any file made with official
               versions

               :What to do:
               The program you used to encrypt... use it to decrypt.
               Any file processed with v1.5 -> Keep using 1.5
               Any file processed with v1.6(A to F) -> Decrypt it with
               this 1.6G... Check it... and then Re-Encrypt it again.

               :Why:
               Sorry the inconvenient but it's needed due to a B/L-Endian
               glitch (Nothing to do with the crypto unit but apparently
               it has to do with the way files are read/written to the
               buffer making this a new variant).

               :Note:
               This sub-version 'G' now states a cipher version '16' so
               you may use future versions with 1.5 and 1.6 generated
               files. Previous 1.6 processed files 'look' like being
               processed by the different 1.5 (may create problems).
               See the What-To-Do section.

      :END-WARNING


 Now back to the subject:

 This is now able for DOS/W9x and for LINUX/FreeBSD.

 Unix users will need to compile code with Free-Pascal-Compiler.
 Win95 users can use it through the "MS-DOS Prompt" or 4DOS.

 You will find 4 executables for DOS/W9x:

            BLW-CBC : for ALL x86 CPUs
            BLW-386 : for CPUs from the 386 up to the new 786 (Athlons)
            CWSDPMI : Needed to use BLW-386 under old plain DOS
            BLWCBC15: Last Official version (See warning at top>

 Please note that SWSDPMI is not needed under Win9x ... it has it!
 In old DOS you will just need to have it in a directory in PATH,
 I would suggest DOS directory or an UTILS directory were BLW-CBC
 may also reside.

 That's all!

Cordially,
Dutra Lacerda


P.S.  BLW-CBC has a build-in Help-Screen on how to be used.
~~~~  BLW-CBC is build on simplicity so you are responsible for all
      other aspects of security besides crypto itself.
