Code CODE is a medium-security general purpose encoder/decoder. Its feature is not the encoding routine, but ease of use, and the use of passwords. The encoding routine envolves a password. The encoded file CANNOT be decoded without that password due to the way the file is encoded. The password may be guessed, and a complex routine for trial-and-error could figure out the password with a few days of CPU. But for general use, CODE is safe. CODE flawlessly codes line-numbered files and .EXE and .REL files. It uses the COMND JSYS for parsing in standard TOPS-20 form (using ESC and editing control codes).
