Short: PGPAmiga International version 2.6.3i (not for U.S. or Canada) Author: Peter Simons Uploader: Charlene McNulty - Virus Help Team Canada Replaces: PGPAmiga International version 2.6.2i Size: PGPAmiga-2.6.3is.lha 426.911 bytes README file for PGP Freeware, International Version 2.6.3i - AMIGA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PGPAmiga 2.6.3i Bonn, 19th January 1996 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the binary distribution of PGPAmiga 2.6.3i. This is the international version of PGP, which is legal to use outside the United States -- _only_ outside the United States. If you're living inside the USA, please get PGP 2.6.3 instead, which does absolutely the same as this version, except for some internals. I am sorry about this mess, but we have to do it that way because the RSA algorithm is patented in the USA. You will have already noticed that the original archive you got, contains only three files: PGPAmiga-263i.asc, PGPAmiga-263i.lzh and this ReadMe. The file with the "asc" extension is a digital signature of the lzh-archive. If you have PGP already installed and trust your version, you might use the command $ pgp PGPAmiga-263i.asc PGPAmiga-263i.lzh to check the signature and thus test, whether this archive has been modified or tampered with. If this is the first version of PGP you get, you will simply have to trust it, or not, I'm afraid. Now unpack the archive using lha as usual. Lha will extract a number of files and directories, which I'd like to describe in short because the whole structure might be a bit confusing: bin/ This directory contains the binaries and related files you need for your installation. There're are numerous help files, which will provide you on-line help in the language you favor. Please read the README.amiga file, which described the installation process in detail. doc/ The second most important directory after the binaries: Here you will find the PGP documentation. I'd like to point out, that you must, must, _must_ MUST, _MUST_ read the manual before doing anything with PGP. PGP's encryption is pretty worthless if you do not understand what it is doing and what you should do to protect your data! contrib/ Here you'll find additional utilities, which would need some work and a compiler to function. :-) readme.1st This file has been written by Stale Schumacher and addresses several issues of PGP in general, such as the legal situation, new features and similar stuff. It is highly recommended that you read this file, too! keys.asc This file contains the PGP public keys of almost anybody involved in PGP development. You might want to add them to your keysring using $ pgp -ka keys.asc Many of the keys authenticiated (signed) by each other. So if you know just one of these developers, you have a decent chance of having all keys authenticiated. If you have any questions regarding PGPAmiga or PGP in general, you are welcome to e-mail me at simons@peti.rhein.de or Robert Knop rknop@mop.caltech.edu. Our keys are also included in the keys.asc file, so you might encrypt your mail -- just for testing purposes. :-) There also exists a mailing list dedicated to the discussion of PGPAmiga related topics. You can subscribe by sending an e-mail to pgpamiga-request@peti.rhein.de and putting the command ADD in the mail body. You should be notified by the listserv daemon within 24 hours. Okay, all that's left is wishing you much success at mastering PGP. Don't forget: Many other have done it already. :-) PGP is a hell of a complicated tool, but there's not much we can do about it. Who said that security would be easy?
