I certainly think the batch solution is more appropriate. The batch interfaces will be more consistent across different gpg versions, while the numbers/letters you enter at the prompt can quickly change if different algorithms are supported in a new version etc. So stick with the batch and with-colons interfaces whenever you can. They are also easier to script -- computer-readable and all that. -- Jerome Baum Hessenweg 222 48432 Rheine GERMANY tel +49-1578-8434336 email [email protected] web www.jeromebaum.com -- Einigkeit und Recht und Modeerscheinung -- PGP: A0E4 B2D4 94E6 20EE 85BA E45B 63E4 2BD8 C58C 753A PGP: 2C23 EBFF DF1A 840D 2351 F5F5 F25B A03F 2152 36DA -- http://five.sentenc.es _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
