Version 00.01.1

Thank you for evaluating Encrypted Magic Folders (EMF) !

You can get the latest version of EMF at  
http://PC-Magic.com

Encrypted Magic Folders (EMF) provides automated & transparent 
encryption!  Simply select folders whose files you want encrypted and 
EMF not only makes those folders and files completely invisible to others 
but decrypts and encrypts the files automatically and transparently as 
you use them.  You won't even notice the encryption as EMF does all the 
work behind the scenes.  Access to your encrypted files will be so normal 
and fast you'll probably forget you're using encrypted files. 

As further protection your invisible folders and files can't be deleted, 
viewed, modified, or run by unauthorized users.  For all practical 
purposes they don't exist.  Use EMF to protect your finances, taxes, 
client information, business and personal documents.  Laptop users find 
it invaluable for protecting data you wouldn't want made public if your 
laptop is stolen.  Not only will others not know your hidden files exist, 
they won't be able to accidentally delete or modify them either.  With 
EMF you can turn over your computer to your children or your co-workers 
without worrying if they'll delete, modify or view important files. 

Yet, just enter your password and you'll instantly have complete and 
normal access to all your folders and the files within.  There's no need 
to un-hide and decrypt each file or folder individually.  And EMF is 
totally transparent.  No one need know your invisible and encrypted 
folders/files even exist. 

If you wish, you can establish 5 different accounts so everyone using 
your computer can create invisible and encrypted folders only they have 
access to. 

The method used to by EMF to encrypt your folders is proprietary.  It 
combines good security with excellent speed.  THERE IS NO BACKDOOR.  If 
you forget your password there is nothing we can do to decrypt your 
files. 

If you're using a non-english version of Win95/98 you may need the english 
version of the VB5 runtime files.  You can get them at:
