[Brian A]

You could well be right Martyn but maybe it makes it a little more user
friendly - haven't tried it yet so the Jury is out on that one. I didn't
think of running it other platforms because I only run Linux :-)  From my
viewpoint it makes it that bit more secure if I have my encrypted file on a
USB stick.
