+tcplay is a free (BSD-licensed), pretty much fully featured (including
+multiple keyfiles, cipher cascades, etc) and stable TrueCrypt
+implementation.
+
+This implementation supports mapping (opening) both system and normal
+TrueCrypt volumes, as well as opening hidden volumes and opening an
+outer volume while protecting a hidden volume. There is also support
+to create volumes, including hidden volumes, etc. Since version 1.1,
+there is also support for restoring from the backup header (if
+present), change passphrase, keyfile and PBKDF2 PRF function.
+
+Since tcplay uses dm-crypt (or dm_target_crypt on DragonFly) it makes
+full use of any available hardware encryption/decryption support once
+the volume has been mapped.
