A quick response from David C Lawrence <tale@turing.cs.rpi.edu>: ftp tut.cis.ohio-state.edu and look for crypt.el in pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archives/misc/. It works, but by doing only what's in the directions in the file, only the saved files are encrypted via crypt: the auto-save files are not encrypted. I haven't had time to look into it yet, so maybe it does take care of that also. Since this uses Unix crypt(1), and some sites don't have that some people may have problems. Assuming you do have it, you can read previously encrypted files (ie, the lisp stuff doesn't do anything wacky). Thanks, -Dan -- <Pezely@udel.edu>
