X-Message allows you to send an encrypted message to a friend by making a special .exe file that contains your message. Simply run xmessage.exe, type in your message, and click the Make button. This will generate the X-Message - a file - message.exe

Send message.exe to your friend. When they run it, the message will decrypt and be displayed on screen.

You can password-lock messages. Passwords are 16 bytes long (128-bit encryption). If an X-Message is password locked, the recipient must type the password before the message will decrypt and display.

The X-Message self-decrypting file runs checksum tests on it's contents (executable and encrypted data), and it will not load if these have been tampered with (for example, by a cracker or virus).

Max plaintext message size: 15000 bytes
Compact output (message.exe) - minimum size: 18,000 bytes  (for a 0-byte plaintext message)
		               maximum size: 48,012 bytes  (for a 15,000-byte plaintext message)
