Compression and Encryption

[Brian Yennie]

Well, I can confirm the problem... the simplest string I could 
replicate the problem with was "a bb a bb".
As for mcEncrypt, I believe it is undocumented and possibly used in the 
licensing scheme, so it's on purpose that there is no function to 
reverse it.

HTH a little,

Brian
