implications if not used correctly. A beginner is advised to just use
a strong block cipher in CBC mode such as bf or des3.
-All the block ciphers use PKCS#5 padding also known as standard block
+All the block ciphers normally use PKCS#5 padding also known as standard block
padding: this allows a rudimentary integrity or password check to be
performed. However since the chance of random data passing the test is
better than 1 in 256 it isn't a very good test.
+If padding is disabled then the input data must be a muliple of the cipher
+block length.

All RC2 ciphers have the same key and effective key length.
Blowfish and RC5 algorithms use a 128 bit key.
There should be an option to allow an iteration count to be included.

-with a 76 bit key or RC4 with an 84 bit key you can't use this program.
