Shuffles the bytes of the file; the retained character set permits ASCII file transfers. Provides the key holder immediate access (vi, grep, make, etc.) to scrambled files such that the scrambled nature of the files is transparent. The objects edmix, keymix, unmix, catmix are links of mix, argv[0] is hashed to decode context. -- Istvan Mohos {ihnp4,decvax,allegra}!philabs!hhb!istvan HHB Systems 1000 Wyckoff Ave. Mahwah NJ 07430 201-848-8000 ====================================================================
