Summary: Here is the solution...... .......for neophytes only.

<*>
Many thanks to the numerous people who graciously
responded to my plea.  I apologize that I was not
clear in that I was talking about the "Enigma" Crypt
recently posted comp.sources, not the UNIX(tm) 
Crypt.

Of the people helping, I will to extend the special
thanks to Dick Mayback who put explanation in terms
even I could understand.  Specifically:

1.  Compile crypt.
2.  use the UNIX(tm) command string:

    ln crypt decrypt
3.  use the following command string to crypt:
 
    cat inputfile | crypt password > outputfile
4.  use the following command string to decrypt:
 
    cat outputfile | decrypt password > inputimage

Obviously step 2 is what I missed.  Dick pointed
out that the original posting said the same thing
but I totally missed the point due to the way it
was stated.

I have tested the above on several files, using
    diff inputfile inputimage
to confirm that the steps work.  Obviously, no
warrantees, expressed or implied.

(I am pleased to note that I finally posted to
the correct newsgroup, I got no flames asking
"why the *&{*# did you post here". It took me
18 months to get it right. :-)
