 Visit the URL below to learn how the AIM encryption works
 http://www.multimania.com/ilikeit/aimcrack.htm

 I wrote this program because there is a lack of good examples
 of how to decrypt AIM passwords. The two examples I found were
 exactly the same. They both consisted of IF THENs for every
 possible combination of encrypted characters.

 I made my code much simpler by storing the chart from the URL
 above in some string arrays, and then did the comparasions
 with 2 FOR loops, and 2 SELECT CASEs. It took me about 20 minutes
 to understand how to decode the passwords. Then another hour to
 write and debug the code.
