===========================

command line; open source (GPL); fun:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/security/pad/pkg-descr
http://www.freshports.org/security/pad/

i've played with it... it's a fun toy, and may be useful for more. not too 
many command line options, but the ones it has are very useful. also 
useful is that the ciphertext can be broken into more than just 2 shares, 
and that you can specify a pad or have one generated on the fly.
