An encryption to analyse

[Alphanos]

I wrote a cryption class, developed and altered over a period of time, and am wondering how it measures up. It was done completely independently, and I haven't actually read anything about encryption beyond learning how to use a binary file.

So, comments would be appreciated. How good/bad is it? What could I do to improve it? etc.
