During these early stages of evaluating your Vector Cipher 2, I am
focussing on two aspects for Popular Cryptography Magazine:
I cannot find a place in your software to enter a key of all zeros.
When I tried to encrypt a file with 24 megabytes of ASCII information,
the ciphertext was only 3 kilobytes long.
Do you, adacrypt, have any comment on those two issues?

Are these the right programs to be evaluating?
real_time_encryption_program_mark_2.exe
batch_encryption_program_mark_2.exe
general­_encryption_program_mark_2.exe
general­_decryption_program_mark_2.exe

Hi,
Suggest also running the Mark_0 program and see where it crashes out
- that is what it is there for - a diagnostic program
