I'm working on a method to encapsulate complete data chunks as 
individual parts. One way to do this would be to use a pull parser to 
get one part at a time. Example:

<page>
   encrypted data here...
</page>

In this text file example my encrypted data is htmlText where I 
deliberately remove line breaks, return numToChar(13) & numToChar(10) 
So later when a cross-platform file is decrypted "<p>" & return is used 
to replace "<p>"

One implementation could be to save each page's encrypted data in an 
array that is savable in a customProperty. The reason I mention all 
this is Blowfish takes about a half a second to build the encryption 
boxes that are used to encrypt and decrypt data. If the data is 
encrypted in smaller sized user chunks then a Transcript/Blowfish is 
not noticed much. It can slow things down when you attempt to encrypt 
an entire data source all at once.

Contact me off list if you are interested in getting 
Transcript/Blowfish.
