Folks

Some of my key files to be distributed are under 17 bytes which results =
in the following message
Cannot encrypt files smaller than 17 bytes with OpenSSL/Blowfish =
(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)

Is there any way around this problem apart from turning encryption off.
I am quite happy to have a lower encryption system.

Thanks
