Description

UPDATED Now uses a more recursive and less pattern oriented algorithm.

Basically encrypts a text type file using a simple recursive character shift techinque. Pretty basic, but powerful.

More Info

Takes an input file name, an output file name, and a key

creates(or over-writes) an output file

This program will automatically overwrite any file that you specify as the output file

//	the file is to know the key. Kinda neat,
//	because even if you know the algorithm,
//	it doesn't do you any good.
