[Gambas-user] How to decrypt a text? Any suggestions?

[Daniel Oxley]

OK, i'll post the code here, it worked well in VB but was a little slow.  I 
got it from the web but then butchered it a little for my own purposes, if i 
can find the native code i'll post that, otherwise my version.

P.S. AFAIK, the original code was GPL anyway.

Although it won't be for a week or so as I am not in Madrid.

Daniel
