There's built in support for PGP v5,6,7,8 if you have any of those versions otherwise installed on your system. Enabling this support will make TB! integrate with with those PGP version and that works very nicely. I currently use this support with PGP v8 and things are working just fine with all PGP related macros and menu items functional. There's also a fully functional PGP implementation in TB!. It's based on PGP v2 which is an older version of TB!. Of course, with such old versions come the problems of lack of support for the newer aspects of PGP and the fact is that a LOT has changed since PGP v2 and a LOT of PGP users, including myself are using key types that PGP v2 cannot handle, i.e., the DH/DSS key types. PGP v2 supports only RSA type keys which also require the IDEA encryption algorithm, an algorithm that's still patented and therefore not used by quite a few GnuPG users. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.04.7 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
