I am beginning to wonder whether we should have gone that route on the
swerver .. bu still.. too late now.

I haven't considered the GPG option yet .. its going to be for a user
thing .. and PGP is more common .. I am right in thinking that GPG and
PGP are basically different and not interchangeable aren't I ? .. Itried
importing PGP keyfile into GOG and it didn;t like it.
binaries of PGP appear to work for most things .. but when I try to use
PGP::Sign it bombs. The problem is that PGP::Sign use open(3) to start PGP
in batch mode and pass it file handles. But it wont work under dedrat 7
.. trying to build PGP from sources under dedrat 7.0 reveals errors in the
compile relating to the filehandles, specifically the file offset
pointers. infact: PGPFileOffset is a long int, but it tries to assign it
to a struct that is something else .. the result is not pretty.
If all else fails I'll jsut use GPG .. which will be a pain as Kmail (my
mailer) works nicely with PGP .. but not GPG as yet .. hmmmph
