It's been crunching for about an hour trying to read my public ring and is still working on it. You might have better luck on your system if you have a smaller keyring. Mine is about 2 meg. I'll try later with a smaller ring and see if this does anything usefull. Maybe when I get up tomorrow it will be done reading this ring. Scott Impeach Clinton now. Avoid the rush in '96.

Thats not me, but maybe you'are intrested in my one too !? I'm using GEdit (yes, that online bbs-editor) as an external editor, using his msgtmp-Feature, this means i can Quote message text by Ctrl-Q like it is, when you are writing online in a BBS. I hate the other form of 'quoting', if you have all the original text in your mail and then you have to delete, what you don't need <--- thats stupid without end ! Therefore look at this ...: @echo off REM if not exist msgtmp. echo ! > msgtmp. move timed.msg msgtmp. >nul gedit.exe -s0 if not exist msgtmp. goto abort move msgtmp. timed.msg>nul gedk timed.msg buffer ? goto ende :abort del timed.msg buffer ? exit :ende Well, looks pretty difficult, huh ? :) Well, first of all timed.msg, the temporary message is moved to msgtmp, so that GEDIT.EXE kann access it. The 2 external programs used are "buffer", a small tool, what stores a letter in the keyboard-puffer, but what isn't really neccessary here, and the second one is "gedk", a small .exe by me what changes the wrong soft linefeeds to real hard linefeed, so that timeEd accepts the message in the right way and doesn't destroy boxes and other "grafical" things like FILE_ID.DIZ etc. I hope this helps .. btw: you can include SpellChecking in GEDIT too!

LP> files in the directory containing my PGP program files are LP> available only to Zone 1 callers. TR> How do you enforce this? I use Binkley Term as my BBS front end. Its security provisions permit one to define separate lists of files that the system will send to 1) any system that calls, 2) only systems calling that are on the available nodelist, and 3) only systems with which a password protected session has been arranged. I extract only a Zone 1 nodelist for my system and list my PGP directory and magic filenames only at the level 2 security. This security, like any measures other than making files entirely unavailable, can be circumvented and broken. But it seems reasonable to me under the circumstances -- it would require a person outside of Zone 1 to perpetrate a fraud and an electronic form of burglary to get these files; all the files that I have are available internationally, and anyone outside of Zone 1 smart enough to "break" this security is smart enough to get anything I have for less money and with less hassle outside of Zone 1 than calling me. If my country would make me a criminal for being a victim of crime (and a crime having no practical effect), then we truly are at the end of a government of, by, and for the people. But, I feel that I have the right to act reasonably and that I should only be expected to act reasonably under the circumstances, and this is my determination in this case based upon the information that is available to me.

So far, he's been using commands: -sea and -seat but the blocks lines are concatenated into a single line wrapping at excessive length (512 caracters) and PGP does not recognize this as being a ciphertext file. Macintosh text files are line-delimited by just a carriage return character; MS-DOS text files are delimited by a carriage return character followed by a linefeed character. There are eighty-zillion little programs which do textfile conversion between MS-DOS and Mac (and MS-DOS and Unix, and Mac and Unix, and...). I had no problem using DOS PGP to read my friends' public key blocks which were created on their Mac and exported as text. I remember being impressed that DOS PGP was smart enough to deal with the problem on its own. I haven't got a signed or encrypted message from them yet, so I haven't tested that aspect. What version of PGP are you using, and what version is your friend using? Is your friend *literally* using the dash options? In my friends' MacPGP, there's a menu item called "Run command file." If you click on it, a dialogue box comes up saying that feature is untested, and to RTFM before trying it. --dave.
