The function cipher() I am using in VFP code is written in VFP; not in C. Maybe Sergey also wrote it in C but the one he recommended to me years ago was the VFP function. To be honest, I don't even understand all VFP functions he used in creating the cipher(). So converting/rewriting it to C# would be a great challenge.
