A file that starts out as a text file ends up getting encrypted as a binary file. Then when it is decrypted it is decrypted as a binary file. Could file type be stored in the header to make sure the type of tile ends up the same as it starts?

Need to support a way to have a base64 key that is not stored on disk. There must be some way to get keyboard input or something that could be scripted.

Maybe something like this:
// Standard input from keyboard
var key string
fmt.Scanln(&key)

Stdin doesn't work because the code is looking for EOF. It is probably worth upgrading to use: http://labix.org/pipe since it would increase performance and reduce the code in general.

Need a crypter library so third party apps can use it.

After a text file is encrypted it becomes a binary file. When it is decrypted it is still a binary file. Is there a way to store the file type as a text file in the header to set it properly after decryption?

Provide a command line parameter to use more than a single CPU. Large files could be greatly sped up by using multiple CPU's. This could default to the number of CPU's that are on the machine or be set by some command line option..

Need to document the code and improve the formatting. Example: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/pipe/v2/view/head:/pipe.go this is so much more readable.
