XCODE IS NOT A STRONG FILE PROTECTION METHOD. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

The amount of security provided by XCODE/XCode32 depends upon the kind
of file being encoded. XCode is best if used on compressed files, since
those files contain little or no strings of redundant characters.

XCode32 is completely compatible with XCODE for DOS. Both programs are
copyrighted freeware.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

XCode is a bidirectional file encoder: when a file is XCoded with a key,
it only has to be XCoded again with the same key to return to normal.
The key can be anywhere from 1 to 50 bytes long. It is case-sensitive.

Syntax: XCode file1 [file2 file3 ...]

e.g. To encode: xcode a:test.zip c:\temp\secondfile.jpg
(test.zip is now encoded; secondfile.jpg is also encoded)
Then to decode: xcode a:test.zip c:\temp\secondfile.jpg

The files can be in any disk/directory, and can contain long filenames.
XCode32 will prompt for a key to use on each file specified. The output
file of the operation is always the same as the input file.

XCode32 can be placed in your user profile's SendTo folder, located at:
%windir%\Profiles\username\SendTo

All you have to do is create a shortcut to XCode32 in that folder. Then
you can select a file, or multiple files from explorer or your desktop,
right click, and select SendTo/XCode.
