Putting Encryption Libraries in Different Folder

[Bob Sneidar]

I need to use an encryption method when asking the user for a  
password, but since the ask password command is not a function, I  
cannot use that in any calls to revdb. I have to save to a variable  
which exposes my password to anyone with a bit of expertise.

If the ask password command was implemented as a function, I could use  
it in revdatabaseconnect() as one of the arguements. Since the MySQL  
is only taking cleartext passwords I would need to use the ask  
password clear method, but as a function.

Just sayin'. :-)
