PGP works fine on Linux and there are Freeware versions. It is a good program. However, now that the RSA patent has expired, I can see no good reasons to continue to use PGP unless I needed compatibility with IDEA. An employer might want to use PGP because of the ADK feature but for personal use that is obviously not a desired feature. I switched to gnupg at version 1.0.0 and have been happy with it. The only problem with gnupg so far is that version 1.0.3+ defaults to twofish and MDC which is not compatible with earlier versions. Since 1.0.4 added Rijndael support and fixed the multiple signature bug I doubt this incompatibility will be an issue for long. I have already posted updated RPMS for gpg users where I work. -- --Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt ============================================================== Living well is the only revenge.
