	Symphony has a password protection feature for spreadsheets;
this is mentioned but not fully documented in their file format book.
We have a spreadsheet with a forgotten password ...
	Does anyone know:
		1) How does the encryption encrypt the data in the
remaining file.
		2) How the password is encoded into the password record
		3) Whether (and how) the password encoding and/or the
data encryption are invertible?

	Thanks,
				Jeff Rottman
