encrypt not working in Leopard - temporary solution suggestion

[Josh Mellicker]

For encryption/decryption on Leopard, until things are fixed, I've  
been using this simple substitution cypher plus a Base64encode/decode:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
function lbencrypt pIn
     put empty into tOut
     repeat for each char c in pIn
         put chartonum(c)+2 & tab before tOut
     end repeat
     return base64encode(tOut)
end lbencrypt
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
function lbdecrypt pIn
     put base64decode(pIn) into pIn
     set the itemdel to tab
     put empty into tOut
     repeat for each item c in pIn
         put numtochar(c-2) before tOut
     end repeat
     return tOut
end lbdecrypt
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once encryption is fixed you can just put your regular encryption  
handlers back.

If anyone has something better, post it if ya got it!
