hello,

I use a function (char* crypt(const char *PW, *Salt)) in order to encrypt data in my application.
My application works on UNIX. So I use a Standard C Library (libc.a) which contains module crypt.o.

Now my application has to work under WIN NT and I don't find the module crypt.o.
Is this function exist under NT ?
Where can I find this module ?

Please Help,
Thank much. [sig][/sig]
 
I am not shure if crypt is available with windows NT. If I remember correct, crypt uses a very weak algorithm for encryption (Enigma) and therefore it makes no sense to use it.

Crypt is the standard for password encryption in UNIX. But the security there is provided by access restrictions not to much by encryption. [sig]<p>hnd<br><a href=mailto:hasso55@yahoo.com>hasso55@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]
