I have a couple driving questions that I got no response from on Amiga/General
so I've posted them to the net - and here they are:

1.  Can someone point me to a "good" public domain program that encrypts,
decrypts, and uses a password for entry (decryption)?  I want to use it to
"make safe" text files from possible prying eyes.

    I talked to Software Visions of Microfiche Filer fame and they indicated
that PD software exists that will do this and work from a Microfiche Filer
macro.

2.  I am still trying to correct my knowledge of what goes on when a disk is
inserted into a drive AFTER ctrl-A-A as opposed to leaving it in the drive and
hitting ctrl-A-A?

    This came about when I experienced hard drive format problems and
discovered (read in the docs) to ALWAYS insert the disk at the workbench disk
prompt when formatting - and it worked!  But why?

Thanks

Bill
