CipherBox is FREEWARE.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you did not download the full install version, then Visual Basic 6.0 runtime
libraries are required.

You will also need to copy the file CryptLib.dll and mscomctrl.ocx to your
\Windows\System directory, or \WINNT\SYSTEM32 for Windows NT/2000.

GWCryptLib.Dll is a small library created with Visual C++, which allows
CipherBox to crypt data much faster than the Visual Basic environment allows.

GWCryptLib.dll is a shared DLL since other released from GlobWare.com will use
this library also.

Other software released by GlobWare.com uses the VB version of the crypt
library which is slower, but not noticeably for smaller amounts of data.

About CipherBox
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CipherBox uses RC4 "like" :) Encryption to encrypt/decrypt entire folders
and their contents into one large file (sorta like a zip file).

This version of CipherBox can only handle files that total under 2.0 gigs and
have less than 65,535 folders.


* CipherBox .cbx files are fully compatable/interchangable with CipherBox Zap.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drag a folder into the view to create a box file.
Drag the box file into the view to extract it back to your hard drive.

CipherBox is an encryption tool which uses 2048 bit RC4 "like" encryption
algorithm which allows a folder to be dragged into the main window, and the
contents of that folder will be encrypted into one file. It will let you
visually manage all of your boxes, and allows selected file extraction.

Drag the .cbx file into the window and you can extract the contents into a new
path.

Very similar to WinZip, yet it  en/decryptes the files instead of un/compressing
the files.

Quick Start:
When you first start CiperBox, it will start in the tray automatically. This
feature is so you can load it at startup.

After CipherBox is loaded, it will stay idle until you right click the CipherBox
icon in the tray, and select Login… from the popup menu.

If this if your first time using CipherBox, then you will be prompted to create
a new profile. You will also be prompted to select a default directory.

Don't lose or forget your password or your files are history...

You will need to Login each time CipherBox is loaded, that is it, unless you
Logout. Logging out will leave CipherBox open still, you need to Exit from the
file menu to quit, or using Remove CipherBox from the tray menu.

Using CipherBox:
Drag a folder into the CipherBox window, and a Create Box dialog will appear.
You can allow CipherBox to auto-set everything for you after you.

After to this, the operation is simply queued, you need to go to the Actions
menu and select Run, or press F5.

After executing any actions, Create actions will turn to Extract actions and
visa-versa. This only happens if an error doesn't occur.

Startup Actions will force all checked items to Create.
Shutdown Actons will force all checked items to Extract.

Known Errors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
