Rev Standalone and Encryption

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonsoir Ted, Bill et Mark,

Just an add-up to this thread with an email I posted to the Improve  
list less than a week ago:

> I work every day with protected stacks and here is the way I make  
> my life easy with them:
>
> I have a text file with a list of passwords and stack names in it.
> At every stack (or substack) preOpenStack I have a routine in a  
> library that checks if this file exists, parse it and set the  
> passkey accordingly.
> In distribution, this file of course is not included and, in  
> addition, the routine is skipped when the environment is not 'Dev'  
> then all stacks stay protected.
> But in my 'Dev' environment, I am never prompted to enter any PW.

BTW, I confirm what Mark said: SSL encryption/decryption is really  
amazingly fast :-)

Best regards from Paris,
