Hi Werner, Thanks for the info. I'm still not clear on how to use the argument "status-fd 2" though. Could you possibly give me an example?
I originally opened the file doc/DETAILS with notepad but it was quite unreadable. Downloaded Starksoft GnuPG wrapper but it's not compatible with GPG v2. Contacted the auther who is looking at an upgrade.

That is the file descriptor obn which output should happen. Usualy you woul use --status-fd 2 to output to stderr; however how can use arbitrary file descriptors. > I've downloaded the source for GPG and looked at the doc/DETAILS > file but on Windows this is unreadable. Read it in an editor (e.g. notepad). As with all code we use Unix line endings (LF) and not Windows line endings (CR,LF). > Also it seems as if gpgme is not available for Windows, is this correct? It is available for Windows. Simply install gpg4win (the light version is sufficient) and you find the gpgme dll in the install directory. libgpgme-11.dll is the native one, libgpgme-glib-11.dll is the one to use with GLIB based software and libgpgme-qt-11.dll the one to use with QT based software. Note that the file gpgme-w32spawn.exe must be in the same directory as the DLL. The header file is identical for Unix and Windows, a manual is online at http://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals.en.html . > I'm running GPG from a C# application using the Process class.

No, you need to use pipes for that. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei. Auschnahme regelt ein Bundeschgesetz.
