OT: Password generator

Since so many website require strong passwords these days, I wrote a
strong-password generator for myself, which I offer to you FWIW.
GenPass.exe -- a compiled AutoIt script -- generates a strong password,
and saves it to the Window clipboard. "Strong" means that the password
contains a random combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters,
and numbers. By default, GenPass.exe generates an 8-character password.
Using arguments described in the documentation, you can control the
length and "look" of the generated password. With a special argument,
GenPass.exe 1, the generated password will be of variable length (10-18
characters) and will contain two separators.
If you use password-manager software that you're happy with, you won't
need this utility. If, like me, you prefer to manage your passwords
manually, it may be worth a look.

The latest release of the Jumbo U2 includes a frame, GenPass, that
offers the same functionality within XyWrite 4.
