Standards! Are you kidding? The software industry does not do standards
unless forced by things outside their control, MS being the worst.
Look at
http://www.os2site.com/sw/util/encryption/index.html
file bfish163.zip.
With this I think you can do what you want. A problem with this is that
wherever you first stored the file unencrypted it is still there in plain text
and you need a way to get rid of the data and just deleting the file does not
delete the data, the file needs to be over written before deleting the file.
Over writting the file is not that easy using the tools usually available for
most users (i.e. an editor will not do it).
