Ouch!!! This is so unbelievably naive I can hardly believe it. Does
anyone besides me realize *when* exactly the author initials get
cleared? It's when the full path to the image is different. So, let's
say I have an image which at C:\Squeak\SqueakX.Y.image and I give that
to somebody else and that person puts the image into C:\Squeak\ what do
we get? We get all the passwords in nice and plain text.
Cheers,
