The MacLocksmith is an useful application to save your files from
indiscreet eyes. It protects your files/folders quickly by using a very
strong encryption method and a password. The MacLocksmith supplies also a
second, soft and fast, protection system. You may use it in situations of
already good security level.

The MacLocksmith allows you to create Cryptet. Cryptets are stand-alone
auto-decrypting applications containing one encrypted or protected file. A
Cryptet may decrypt the contained file or simply save it on disks.
Distribution of encrypted files is no longer a problem, now. You may create
FAT, PPC or 68k applications and choose a text file that will be used, by
created Cryptet, as custom About box.

The MacLocksmith can make also other actions:
- it locks/unlocks disks by software flag,
- sets/unsets lock bit of files,
- locks/unlocks names,
- shows/hides files and folders.

You may configure all actions of above through preferences, you may also
set the preferences on the fly, before work, simply holding down option key.
Other preferences options:
- don't encrypt invisibles,
- ignore system resources,
- only folder's contents, ignore the folder itself,
- scan disks.

The MacLocksmith is Internet Config, Drag Manager and Navigation Manager
aware, moreover it's Appearance savvy.
It requires at least System 7 to run.
