hello I was looking at RC4 as I like it because its small and i find it easier to understand and use compared to some like AES which I can spell but that's about it lol, and being a stream cipher instead of block cipher i think its easier to work with! I understand there are some security issues with RC4 so it shouldn't be used for serious security but it still remains useful!
my search showed there are already a couple of RC4's for Purebasic, this is just one more option!
just for completeness I think this is the best PB implementation so far

I found this WaterJuice CryptLib library, it is Public Domain and compiles to around ~1-2kb (one of the Windows builds is 920 bytes), and that's the full object file
https://github.com/WaterJuice/CryptLib
All we need are the librc4.c and librc4.h files, so it's one of the easier libs to compile! (phew!)
COMPILING:
I've already compiled all the libs (see download above) for all 3 OS, 32+64, and all 4 levels of optimization, but to do it yourself i used the GCC compiler on all 3 OS (for Windows i used TDM-GCC) to build the .o object file:
gcc -c librc4.c
The "-m32" or "-m64" flag can be added to specify machine target.
The "-On" (n=0-3) flag can be used to specify optimization level with 3 the highest, ive included builds at all levels.
GCC provides hundreds of flags for other things like SSE etc but thats out of scope and its all new to me anyway.
I had no compile errors on Windows or OSX. On Linux i initially got an error "sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory", which after googling i fixed simply with: sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
DEMO (slightly more updated than the one in the zip due to compiler directives but still functionally equivalent):
Here is my demo attempt, i think i've got it right, hopefully one of the crypto experts here can verify please
