Pretty simple.  Stuff the file into a Byte array then do this

Assume bEArr is our encrypted set, bNArr is non-encrypted:

For b = 0 to UBound(bEArr)
	bNArr(b) = bEArr(b) XOr 255
Next b


Of course it's probably better to just open the files, step through the
encrypted one one byte at a time a write the non-encrypted one byte at a
time.  It'll take far less resources, especially if the file is large, but
the premise is the same.

Subject: [pro_vb] Decrypting a file


I need to decrypt a file.

The author of the file told me the following:

"...the encryption is just xor'ing every byte of the file with 0xFF, which
just reverses every bit..."

Uh...What's that mean and how do I start doing that??

Thanks!
