Dhiru -

The usage output is:

        if (argc < 2) {
                fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <Office 2007 / 2010 encrypted files\n", argv[0]);

The "< 2" check and the word "files" suggests that multiple files may be
specified.  However, the code actually only processes argv[1].

Also, what does "<" in the Usage line mean?  Maybe there was meant to be
a closing ">" as well?  Either way, this is confusing since these are
also shell meta-characters for input/output redirection.

I think we need to fix this.

Thanks,

Alexander
