Don't you recognize me? Anyway, the pgp docs only make sense once you figure out how pgp works. I would have figured out what was going on much quiker if there was a pgp documentation translator included in the archive. For instance, half of the guide assumes you are fluent in UNIX. The other half assumes you previously knew all about every file pgp uses. On top of that, it assumes you know everything about environment variables. Finally it assumes you have used pgp before as the entire doc is absent of a single example of pgp use. It's all legal crap and technical specifications - not one single sentence on use. Maybe you wouldn't mind writing a doc on pgp USE for everyone to read? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-= Email: Kainaw@cris.com -=- WWW: http://www.cris.com/~Kainaw =-=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- Amiga Internet Guide: http://www.cris.com/~Kainaw/tcp/index.shtml -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
