KFileCoder crypts and decrypts files into an .COD archive with a password. Then, only
the people who have the password will be able to read the files. All encoded
files are written in an oly archive file. Then all files of a directory
can be encoded into an only file, easy to send with email.

KFileCoder is written for Linux, used with KDE (K Desktop Environment), and
with KDevelop. It was ported to KDE 2 in Decembre 1999, and works very well under
the KDE 2 Beta. You should compile a recent KDE2 snapshot to run the last version
of kfilecoder, or the final KDE 2 version if avaible.

Please, report all bug you find to the author, by writing an e-mail to him,
with the following subject: "KFileCoder bug report (version w.x.y.z)"
If you have ideas about new features which could be added to a new version,
you can send them nto the author.

To compile it, run these commands in a terminal:
./configure && make && make install
type "rm config.cache" before if you have problems

Welcome to everybody who want to help the KFileCoder project. There are many
ways to do it: writing translations from english of the text used inside the source code,
writing C++ code with new features, drawing new icons, writing documentation (in SGML format),
translating SGML documentations into another languages... Please, download the last version
of KFileCoder before doing anything: it would be not useful to translate an old version,
and ask the author is the work is not already done, or not being done.

To translate:
- To compile the PO file file to a usable GMO file, type for example:
  msgfmt fr.po -ofr.gmo
