Quack,
I wouldn''t be asking this if I were anything but...

What am I missing? Is there a way to read and write information in blocks
that is much faster than one character at a time? If so, DES algorithms
aside], is there a way to do this (maybe I should call it scramble or encode
or something else rather then encrypt) that is much faster?
