Hi Dave,
I'll take a look at the problem that you mentioned.
I initially ran into some problems when exporting. You called 'm_pbuf = new
buffer' a lot, and much of the code assumed that the buffer would be full of
NULL ('\0') bytes. I just added some code to "zero out" the buffer in key
places. I also coded a RecognizeContents method that works and removed some
redundant UT_DEBUGMSG warnings.
I noticed that the decryption routine didn't use the full amount provided by
the specs I saw on wotsit.org, but it's "good enough" for now :-)
Dom
