I haven't tried this program, but from the description (including the
phrase "output file") it seems to me that the program generates a new
file that is an encrypted version of the old file. It's not clear what
happens to the old file - presumably it is deleted? Anyway, if it
doesn't operate on the file in place, it does not meet the requirements
of the OP.

Interesting proggy though.
