Looks like a good alternative. Unfortunately I'm still running
Windows 98SE and the current version requires XP or 2000. Version
1.0 will run in Windows 98SE but I can't find a download site for this
via google. Do you know of one?

Thanks

Works fine here...

Couldn't find one. On 98 (original), I used a similar program, scramdisk
http://www.samsimpson.com/cryptograp...d/sd301r3c.zip
with the pgp sig available at
http://www.samsimpson.com/cryptograp...301r3c.zip.sig

See http://www.samsimpson.com/cryptography/scramdisk/ for info
on the program.

Regards, Dave Hodgins
