Actually the source code for 5.5.3 is reasonably clear at most places. It's
just I'm not a C++ programmer. 

The thing I don't like is that for 6.0.2 the original hashes no longer
match the actual international source - probably coz of bug fixes and minor
cosmetic changes (e.g. www.pgp.com -> www.pgpinternational.com.) I dunno if
it's too much to ask for PGP Inc to redo the hashes for the international
version. I'd rather focus source trust to PGP Inc than spread it out
between PGP Inc, cnlabs and PGP international. I feel it's important that
changes can be traced directly to PGP Inc.

I've only managed to unmunge Stale's original 6.0.2 source, somehow I can't
unmunge the whole thing, I'm probably doing something wrong. So I only
compared a few files between Stale's original 6.0.2 book source and PGP
International's current source. Just cosmetic changes from what I saw. 

Would be good if the updated stuff could be directly traced to PGP Inc.
Don't want anything like the alleged CryptoAG effect...

Cheerio,
