I may have misspoke here. You have some choice in the encryption algorithm you use. I'll bet you can find one that is common to all your operating systems.

We actually run in a LAN environment where our software resides on a Novell file server ... it never gets installed on each individual user's machine. We wouldn't necessarily want to have to run around to all 150 machines on our network and register a COM object. Any ideas?

No, the only civilian encryption I have used is the VFP class, CAPICOM, and .NET in a Windows environment.
