+Waterfall Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Ok dont flame me I looked for it first and all I saw was for a Pocket PC or Palm ect.. I am looking for a stand alone, hint decoder/ encripter for the geohints. It needs to run on a PC. I downloaded one and it is so slow and unstable.. Any ideas. Mark. Quote

+El Diablo Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Run a search on Google.com for text decoders..there are several that work well. El Diablo Everything you do in life...will impact someone,for better or for worse. http://www.geo-hikingstick.com Quote
+FarSideX Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Do a web search for 'ROT13' and take your pick. ROT13 is used outside of geocaching and there are lots of utils out there. I prefer the online java based ones myself. Took tupperware container - Left nothing. Quote
+Geofool Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Hereis a site with a bunch of translators. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Quote
+Waterfall Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 Thanks all... I am giving email hints to some of my caches and dont want to tell them everyting. But I dont want them to go into the field and be stumped again. So I am sending the email with coded hints to the exact area... so when they are in the field they can decode as much as the need and still keep it fun for them. And the will not need to call off the cache for another day... Thanks again, Mark. Quote
+Waterfall Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 still could not find a stand alone traslator but found a great web base one web base translator Thanks this will do for now... Mark. Quote
+woof n lulu Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Works really well http://lightning.prohosting.com/~cryptsol/ Quote
+4agers Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 OK, before you judge me for this link... I searched google for one of these and found this. This isn't a web page I go to often http://www.americangirl.com/agmg/decoder/html/decoderframe.html I think someone should make something like this for an easy way to decrypt from the trail. Heck this would even make a good signature or trade item. Quote
+FarSideX Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 4agers: You could just print this and put it in your pocket. Decryption KeyA|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M-------------------------N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z(letter above equals below,and vice versa) A bit easier then turning a wheel IMHO.

Mark. http://www.mi-geocaching.org/ You didn't like mine? Did it not work for you? It might require a separate DLL, but I'm pretty sure I compiled it as a stand-alone app. If you tried it and it complained about a missing DLL file, let me know and I'll fix it. -- Pehmva!

+Prime Suspect Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Try Encryptix. Does all the normal stuff, understands the use of [brackets], allows selective encoding/decoding, paragraph reformatting, one-click clipboard support, and also understands the alternate hint encoding scheme used by "that other geocaching site". Freeware. "Don't mess with a geocacher. We know all the best places to hide a body." Quote

+Waterfall Posted October 3, 2003 Author Posted October 3, 2003 I download the program Encryptix. Works GREAT just what I needed... Quote

Release v1.1.0 just went up. Not a big change, just a few additional editing functions. "Don't mess with a geocacher. We know all the best places to hide a body." Quote
