BINARY KEYS FILE CONVERTER v1.0.0
---------------------------------

This utility converts a 'softcam.key' file 
(Dreambox or Yankse type plugin) into, or from 
a binary 'keys.bin' file (Humax HoT emu or
CAPi plugin). It's possible to download 
the 'softcam.key' file directly from internet.

USAGE:
1.Conversion 'softcam.key' to 'keys.bin':
  a) Use 'File'->'Open'->'Softcam.key' or
     'File'->'Internet open' to open a 'Softcam.key'
     file,
  b) Save the file as a 'key.bin' file by
     means of 'File'->'Save'->'Keys.bin'.
2.Conversion 'keys.bin' to 'softcam.key':
  a) Use 'File'->'Open'->'Keys.bin' to open 
     a binary 'Keys.bin' file,
  b) Save the file as a 'Softcam.key' file
     by means of 'File'->'Save'->'Softcam.key'.

That's all, enjoy!!!

Bugs and issues:

1.In case of error messages at startup, (re)place
  the appropriate supplied component(s) in your 
  Windows system directory 
  (Windows 98: 'C:\Windows\System', 
  Windows 2000/XP:'C:\Windows\System32'). 
  
  Try registring them if the problem persists. 
  How to do:

     "c:\>regsvr32.exe" "<path>\<component>"
  
  (Specify the correct path for the compontent,
  use quotes if one of the arguments contains spaces)

2.Conversion between 'Softcam.key' and 'Bin.key' is subject
  to limitations. The two file specifications do not fully
  support the same data, this means that some information 
  loss will occur inherently. Especially concerned are:
  a.) PPUA, UA, SA, PMK, HMK, and HexS parameters in 
      'Keys.bin' file. These parameters are set to 'FF..FF'
      if a 'Keys.bin' file is generated from a 'softcam.key' 
      file. The parameters are not added to the 'Softcam.key' 
      file if it is converted from a binary file.
  b.) A 'Keys.bin' file can contain at most 8 seca providers,
      20 viaccess providers, 5 nagravision providers, 
      9 irdeto providers, 2 conax providers, and 300 keys
      (conax excluded). Consequently, if a 'Softcam.key' file
      is converted into a 'keys.bin' file, surplus providers
      and keys are not added to the 'Keys.bin' file created.
  c.) For economy reasons, 'double' nagravision providers
      are not added to a 'Keys.bin' file (for example: if 
      'Softcam.key' contains both '7001 and 7101 Polsat
      providers, 7001 is added to 'Keys.bin' only). If this
      behaviour is not desired (if the wrong provider
      is converted), you have to delete the appropriate 
      providers from the 'Softcam.key' file manually.
  d.) A 'Softcam.key' does not contain any Irdeto ProvID
      parameters. Irdeto conversion from a 'Softcam.key'
      file to a 'Keys.bin' file is accomplished by reading
      commented information in the 'Softcam.key' file. 
      The Binary Keys File Converter will generate the 
      appropriate Irdeto ProvID's from commented strings
      containing (currently supported, case insensistive):
      -'NED' or 'NL': Canal+ Netherlands,
      -'ORF': Oesterreichische Rundfunk und Fernsehen.
