I've successfully installed FreeOTFE4PDA on an Axim x50v, but have not successfully discovered how to add an existing file to the newly created volume.
The author's notes do not provide instructions for actually storing files in the container.
Very much appreciate a brief listing of steps on the use of FreeOTFE4PDA.
TIA...

I found it here:

So far it performed flawlessly on X51v.
Sarah Dean has been working on her OTFE software for quite a while, I exchanged emails with her a few years back, so she's not somebody who just popped up out of nowhere.
Pros: Free, open source, doesn't require installation, small footprint (*), , works in WM5, has a desktop counterpart (or rather it's the other way around  ), offers sh##load of algorithms to chose from
(*) if you only keep one algorithm dll in directory. This would let a would-be attacker know what algorithm was used to encrypt the file but I don't see how knowing that the container was encrypted with AES would help anybody outside of NSA.
Cons: no timeout option; if you want to be able to use file both on PC and PPC you have to create it on PC first (you can later add to it on either platform); sluggish on file open unless you do (*) above.
