SIXINI.EXE:
The SIXINI.EXE utility allows the developer to easily encrypt or decrypt
a SIx Driver Data Dictionary (.INI) file with a specified password. This
will protect the information contained within the .INI file from being
read or modified by unauthorized people.
The command-line syntax for using SIXINI.EXE is as follows:
SIXINI <cFileName>[.INI] <cPassword> [cOutputFile]
Where: cFileName = File to encrypt or decrypt. If no file extension is
used, .INI is assumed.
cPassword = Password to use on the file. This is case-sensitive.
cOutputfile = Optional output filename. The default output file
name is SIXINI.OUT.
Examples:
// Encrypts TEST.INI with the password "Homer" to the default SIXINI.OUT
SIXINI test Homer
// Encrypts TEST.TXT with the password "FooBar" to PASSWORD.TXT
SIXINI test.txt FooBar password.txt
// Encrypts FOO.INI with the password "12345" to SECRET.INI
SIXINI foo.ini 12345 secret.ini
NOTE: Although this utility is provided primarily as a means to encrypt
and decrypt the SIx Driver's Data Dictionary (.INI) files, it can
actually be used to encrypt/decrypt any text file.
As the file is encrypted, an ASCII 255 is prepended to the front of
the file. This is how the SIx Driver detects an encrypted .INI
file from a non-encrypted one. If you are using SIXINI.EXE to
encrypt a file for your own handling via the Sx_Decrypt() function,
you'll need to strip off the first byte of the file prior to
decrypting it.
