The additional infor= mation in these types of files potentially is critical to the receiver's un= derstanding of the writer's intent. More importantly perhaps, this approac= h deliberately excludes a vast number of file types, which, it seems, are c= ast away as being deemed unworthy of encryption. Additionally, the work to change how the files are handled within the Ada p= rogram is so trivial that it boggles the mind why someone would choose to s= tick with Text_IO. -- Eryndlia Mavourneen (KK1T)
