[Gambas-user] Need to have blowfish en- and decryption

[Brant Wells]

Hey Craig:

I hadn't thought of that...  However, my knowledge of C or any of its 
counterparts would be about like an ant's knowledge of quantum 
physics... He he he he.

Besides, I figured doing it as a class or a 'Control' would give Benoit 
a little more encouragement for allowing us to add our own controls to 
the toolbox...  ;) @ Benoit.

But seriously though, I think it could always lead to better 
implementation of other things for Gambas as well.  It wouldn't break my 
heart one bit if somebody took the code from their site and did create a 
gambas-crypto... 

I think that one of the proofs of strength to any language is the 
ability to write controls and other portable code in that language 
itself, rather than having to write it in a different language... IE: 
the Gambas IDE.

That's just my two cents worth, though...  Take a look at the code 
Volker Posted for The bas64 stuff...  I've seen a lot of implementations 
of it and a lot of code for it on http://www.planetsourcecode.com

TTFN!
