Sorry, Greep, that hack went away with version 7. Passwords now have a
two character "salt", which is part of the date and time tacked onto
the plaintext; then the whole thing is encrypted together, and the
plaintext of the salt is appended to the cyphertext. So even if you
have the same password on many machines, the cyphertext won't show it.

Cheers,
chris
