WPUNCRYP 1.0 - Word Perfect 4.x or 5.x File Uncryptor
|
||
|
|
Just so you won't have to use Word Perfect to uncrypt a Word Perfect file...
|
||
|
|
|

Once you have determined the password of the Word Perfect file from your
|
||
|
|
memory or with WPCRACK, you can use this to see the contents of the file
|
||
|
|
or save the contents to a text or Word Perfect file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The syntax is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WPUNCRYP (-o) (-p) (-b) w|t "password" <input file> (<output file>)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Parameters:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "w" or "t" tells it which type of output you want. If you use "w" the
|
||
|
|
entire decrypted file will be written to <output file>. This will be a
|
||
|
|
totally legal Word Perfect file. If you use "t" only the actual text (and none
|
||
|
|
of the header or printer information) will be written to the file. In addition
|
||
|
|
some minor translation will occur to clean things up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"password" is obviously the password of the file. I show the quotes because
|
||
|
|
if your password contains spaces, commas, semicolons, or other things that DOS
|
||
|
|
will separate into two parameters, you need the quotes to keep it together. If
|
||
|
|
you need double quotes in your password, use single quotes around it. The
|
||
|
|
password is required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<input file> is the name of the file you are decrypting. This is required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<output file> is the optional name of the file to save the output to.
|
||
|
|
If you do NOT give the name of the file, only the actual text of the file will
|
||
|
|
be shown to the screen. You can use this to do a quick test of a password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optional Switches:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-o : The Word Perfect file contains the checksum of the password that was
|
||
|
|
used to encrypt it. If your password does not have the same checksum,
|
||
|
|
it is VERY unlikely you will uncrypt the file successfully. However, I
|
||
|
|
hate to cripple a user, so use "-o" to force the program to continue if
|
||
|
|
the checksums don't match.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-p : If the output is being displayed to the screen (if you don't give an
|
||
|
|
<output file> name), including the "-p" switch will force WPUNCRYP to
|
||
|
|
pause every 24 lines for you to hit a key. ESC or CTRL-C will cancel
|
||
|
|
the program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-b : Word Perfect has two kinds of line breaks: hard and soft. Hard breaks
|
||
|
|
are where you deliberately inserted a line break, and WPUNCRYP will always
|
||
|
|
leave this be. A soft break is a break that is caused by the text going
|
||
|
|
past the margin. Change the margin and these change! Normally, WPUNCRYP
|
||
|
|
will translate these just as a hard break at the end of the line. If you
|
||
|
|
are going to be loading the text into a word processor that does full
|
||
|
|
paragraph processing, however, you might with to use the "-b" switch.
|
||
|
|
This will translate the soft breaks as a space, and the word processor
|
||
|
|
can then figure out where to break the lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I haven't actually tried this on a Word Perfect 4.x file. Frankly, I can't
|
||
|
|
find one. I have the file format (I think) and I wrote the program based on
|
||
|
|
that. If it doesn't work, contact me at the address below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are sending output to the screen or to a text file, remember that all
|
||
|
|
that Word Perfect formatting crud is still in there. It looks like garbage,
|
||
|
|
and it's up to you to take it out. You'll often see a lot of it at the
|
||
|
|
beginning of the file, so don't be surprised by it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I haven't tried this on any Word Perfect 5.x other than the IBM version. If
|
||
|
|
you have it for another computer and are interested in getting a version for
|
||
|
|
it, and you have InterNet access, send me the following: a UUENCODED (short)
|
||
|
|
Word Perfect 5.x file, a UUENCODED version of the file after it has been
|
||
|
|
saved with a password, and a letter saying hello and the password you used.
