yep...i could use one of those myself (a clue)

re Scyth

I tried and I failed

Here is what I was using to attempt to decrypt the text:

DECRYPT
-------

DECRYPT is, as far as I know, a one-of-a-kind utility -- it will
crack almost all 8-bit and many 16-bit encryption schemes. There's only
one catch: you must know at least five consecutive characters in the
original (unencrypted) data. This string is passed as the first
parameter. The remaining arguments are the names of files to be
decrypted, wildcards allowed. DECRYPT will go through each file given,
attempting to decrypt it with a special proprietary algorithm which
will crack most standard 8- and 16-bit encryption schemes in under ten
seconds. If the file can be decrypted then DECRYPT will tell you which
encryption method and what key was used, and a file with the same base
name as the original and an extension of .DEC will be created
containing the decrypted contents of the file. Sometimes DECRYPT will
give a false positive, an invalid decryption; this is a normal
side-effect of the ultra-quick algorithm it uses (if you do get a false
positive, chances are the file couldn't be decrypted anyway).
DECRYPT has many uses. It's great for decrypting a virus attached
to a program, so long as you know a string in the virus ("*.COM" is a
good bet), or can be used to view those annoying encrypted data files
that too many programs seem to come with.
Please note that not every file can be decrypted; DECRYPT will
break the most common algorithms used in most low-security applications
(ie: adding/subtracting a constant, XORing by a constant, etc.). Also
make sure that the file you're dealing with is indeed encrypted. Not
every unreadable file is encoded, and unless you're pretty sure your
just wasting your time (albeit very little of it). Files must be under
32k for DECRYPT to work (DECRYPT loads the entire file into memory for
speed, so larger files will overflow the buffer). Outside of these
restrictions, DECRYPT is a valuable tool for any aspiring learner.

Resume.Dat = Napster Hangover?
When I do a search on resume.dat I just get a list of the users incomplete downloads from the days when they were using Napster.

Thanks for the clarification Mr. Mac : ) I had no idea what I was looking at...this explains it to me perfectly thank-you

Thanks for the Info Jack. You are helpful as always. Much obliged
