Nice app, but I'm sure there's a shorter way to do this. I notice a pattern in a lot of the letters. I'm going to try to solve it. I'll pass it on to you if I get any results. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I took a look at the PAS file included, which actually is all you ought to include in source code uploads.
A better way to do this would have been through an array comparison. If you had done it using arrays you could have had the decrypt/encrypt function in one line of code. Hope this is insentive for improval in your programming tactics. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I am having problems using the aim recovery program what do i have to do can you please list step by step on how to use this. I am really desprate to get my password back thank you.

Yeah, you should include how to run it. I really need it because that pass is tied in with my e-mail and yeah... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I think when I made this, I made it very straightfoward and easy to use.
This program clearly focusses on the registry and your SAVED passwords. If the password isn't saved on your auto-login on AIM then you're not going to see it come up. Type in your screenname that has a saved password (without spaces) and the password will appear.
Since I haven't touched delphi in the past 3 years since I submitted this, I really don't want to support this anymore. Hell, if I could even remember my account name on this site I would delete this entry. Thats all I have to say about this program, so please don't bother to send me any emails on it.

7/31/2005 12:22:32 AM:
I don't understand how to use this either... not only does that window not show up, but none of the stuff works. It asks me to "find the appropriate program manually or have the web search" because my computer doesn't know what to open it with. Email me at Miracle_Lithium_Man_in_the_Box_3@yahoo.com and please explain to me how it's used... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
