Hello everyone.
I'm trying to figure out a simple way to encrypt a file from the AIX 4.3 command prompt. The old unix command "crypt" is not available, "compress", "pack", and "tar" do not have an encrypt option, and there does not seem to be an equivalent to the linux gnu "gpg" command. Am I missing something really obvious?

The encryption I need doesn't have to be top of the line. A simple password encryption like the old "crypt" command would work fine. The only restriction is that it would have to be able to encrypt a file in excess of 150MB.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
