OUBLIETTE - IMPORTANT WARNING
-----------------------------------------------------------

WINDOWS 95/98 IS AN INHERENTLY INSECURE SYSTEM!
Any information contained inside a program may be freely
"paged" (copied to a swap area on the hard disk) by the
system's virtual memory manager. That information MAY
REMAIN READABLE to a dedicated snooper, even after you
have restarted the system. Special disk-reading utilities
that allow this exist and are available for free.
Currently the program makes no attempt to prevent such
paging or swapping of data. This means that the information
stored in the password file (*.oub), normally encrypted,
MAY end up somewhere on your hard disk in a plain-text
(unencrypted) form.

If you are concerned about this, there exist programs
that securely WIPE unused hard disk space and/or Windows
swapfile. Two of such programs, both freeware, are:

1. RealDelete and Scorch by Iolo Davidson
   http://www.bonaventura.co.uk/realdelete
   (small and powerful, command-line mode)

2. BCWipe by Jetico, Inc.
   http://www.jetico.com
   (Windows GUI program; also distributed as
   part of excellent BestCrypt disk-encryption package)

-----------------------------------------------------------

This program uses strong cryptography to protect
potentially sensitive information, such as passwords
necessary to access the user's internet accounts, etc.

If using strong cryptography is in any way ILLEGAL in
your place of residence, please do not use this software.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The author SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for any loss or any
problems that may arise from your installing or using
the program. if you forget your access passphrase,
you will NOT be able to access the data file, and there
is nothing anyone can do to help you. There is no
"back door", and algorithms used in Oubliette (Blowfish
and IDEA) are secure enough to withstand known cracking
attempts.
