If you are really serious about your files secrecy, you shouldn't just be
using 'crypt'.  There are freely available tools around that allow anyone
to get plain text within a few minutes if they can read your file and have
some idea of its likely contents.

As far as I know, compress before crypting gives a better level of
protection (thats what I do anyway).
