Len Sassaman has put the ringsig program up at http://www.abditum.com/~rabbi/ringsig/ First, the ring signature portion has successfully been repaired from the truncation imposed by the anon remailer in the original post. Second, unfortunately all of the tabs have been converted to spaces.

Here are the perl scripts I cobbled together to put the ring signature at the end of the file, after a separator. I called the executable program from the earlier C source code ringsig. I call these ringver and ringsign. I'm no perl hacker so these could undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Here is the signature block from the ring signature program which got truncated. I'll try sending it through a few different anon remailers until it gets through. Replace the lines from the earlier posting starting with the END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK line. -END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-
