Changes: The security level now can be chosen freely in the range from 8 to 1024 bits in steps of 8. This makes the program's usage much simpler. The man page now contains a hint on how to share large files using ssss in hybrid mode (together with a block cipher).

Windows port of ssss
Just to let you know that I did a quick port of ssss to windows with MINGW. I had to replace the entropy source by RandomKit, because I couldn't get /dev/random to work.

You can find the files and modified source at: http://www.seidlitz.ca/ssss/

I also compiled ssss on OpenBSD 3.5 from source with no problem.

Thanks for the excellent utility --

Cheers,

Alex
