Encrypt Parameter Values in Existing Configuration Files

Use XCOMENCR.EXE to encrypt selected parameter values in an existing configuration file. When XCOMENCR encounters a line with #!ENCRYPT, it changes the next non-comment line from

PARAMETER=VALUE

to

PARAMETER.ENCRYPTED=ENCRYPTEDVALUE

Example:

Before encryption:

PASSWORD=ENIGMA

After encryption:

PASSWORD.ENCRYPTED=12 0F 36 79 65 AB D0 37 ...  

up to 32 hexadecimal characters for password parameters and up to 64 hexadecimal characters for Encryption At Rest parameters.
