Yes, I know. I simply don't use such software (but this won't help you,
I guess ;-)

>From what I heard about WDIALOG (I have never seen it) I think it
'enhances' some AES routines. Thus you have to start it *AFTER* your AES,
in MiNT case this means after N.AES - most easily from NAES.CNF. If you
start it before N.AES it cannot work properly (I guess it cannot work at
all but your experience is probably different).

I would like to see if N.AES author could cooperate with WDIALOG's authors
and could incorporate those 'enhancements' into regular N.AES. Funny that
both programs are written by German authors, it's crazy those people can't
talk with each other (no language barrier so it must be something else -
perhaps forcing people to use MagiC instead of N.AES?)
