Version 0.97 is no longer portable, saves settings to AppData.

olliebean on 2016-07-09 21:33

As mentioned in PE Soft's comment above, version 0.97 *is* portable if you download the executable file version, it stores its settings in the same directory as the EXE file. I have tested this and nothing is stored in %appdata% or in the registry.

Drag'n'Crypt ULTRA is a small file encryption tool that uses a handy "drop box" interface to make encryption and decryption fast and easy. Uses the Twofish encryption algorithm

  • Starting from version 2.2.0, Drag'n'Crypt ULTRA is no longer backwards-compatible with data encrypted using Blowfish or TEA.

Mixture on 2020-08-29 09:42

The website of Drag'n'Crypt has a grim notice posted:

Drag'n'Crypt ULTRA is history.
The further development of the program, sales and support will officially be discontinued on August 1st, 2020. Inquiries are no longer answered. DCU is no longer available for download.
Other sites that host DCU are also asked not to offer the program for download anymore and to delete the listing.
Switching to a different encryption software, which is currently still being used, is urgently indicated, as permanent program maintenance is important for security reasons.
I would like to thank everyone who accompanied and supported me in the development of DCU. It was an exciting time.

v0.9.9.6 is available. Since there seem to have been some major additions, I don't know if it is still portable.

aazard on 2020-11-12 00:13

Now hosted on: https://drl.chaosforge.org/

Current portable: v0.997 in both HQ & LQ, from author, although LQ/HQ BORH stopped dev @ v0.997:

"Additionally a low quality version is supplied. It is generally deprecated — but if your system doesn’t run MP3 files properly, you want a small portable version or for any other reason, here they are."

ZIP'ed size: HQ = 100mb, LQ = 4.74mb

UnZipped & UPX (lzma) compressed: HQ: 102mb, LQ: 5.67mb

High Quality :doomrl-win-0997.zip DRL Windows version Zipped (High Quality)

Low Quality: doomrl-win-0997-lq.zip DRL Windows zip-version (Low Quality)

aazard on 2020-11-12 00:16

In testing both HQ and LQ versions of v0.997 BOTH use TILES AS GRAPHICS BY DEFAULT

AKA: Graphics are NO LONGER represented with ASCii characters

Infrarecorder is not Stealth. It creates the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions after a disc has been written.

It was terribly slow on my hyperthreaded machine. Nothing terribly exciting. And yes, it does leave traces. My Revo Uninstaller found and removed them. Glad I didn't try it at work.
