More than likely, integers are being stored in the encrypted file if
the encrypting program is not treating the input and output files as
byte streams.  Due to differences in architectures between the Tower
(68000, I think) and the 386, integers are stored with a different
byte ordering.  You need a crypt/decrypt that is specifically
non-architecture dependent.
