About ComCode Pro

ComCode Pro is a small program that will encrypt/encode and decrypt/decode
text using an encryption key made up by the user.  It is designed to work
in conjunction with the Windows Clipboard. Although, you may type plain
text directly into the ComCode Pro text box. It can be used to encrypt/encode
E-mail or text based documents on your hard disk. It is not a public/private
key system. The same key must be used to encrypt and decrypt text. Any
combination of the ASCII characters that Windows recognizes in a text file
can be used as a key.

This shareware is not time limited.  Once on your computer, you can use it
forever.  However, it is not freeware.  If you use it, please pay for it.
The cost is USD $40.00 or AUD $60.00.
