Thank you for downloading RMSIG!
--------------------------------
At this point, you *definitely* need a configured copy of PGP, to
continue the unpacking process! The program, dox files, and
sample configuration file are all contained in a ZIP file, that
is "masked" in the file PROGRAM.PGP. This is to prevent weasel
sysops from "automagically" converting the interal ZIP file to
some oddball, pet format (invalidating the PGP signature, btw),
adding any cute little BBS 'ads', or otherwise "molesting" the
program archive. The outer "shell" archive can be converted,
added to, stuffed full of HOTSEX.NOW and ELITE.BBS adds, and
otherwise "massaged" at the whim of the aformentioned weasels.
But they will have to *manually* molest the program archive, and
if anyone encounters this, *please* notify me, and we'll have
some fun with the offender!:) To "get to" the file,
PROGRAM.ZIP, simply extract all the "main" archive to a scratch
directory, and then while in that directory, type in:
PGP PROGRAM.PGP
PGP will work a bit, and then create a second file, called
PROGRAM.ZIP (you can delete PROGRAM.PGP at this point!), which
you can then extract via your ZIP engine, normally. For a *very*
small measure of security, you can at this point, prior to
extracting the files in PROGRAM.ZIP, invoke PGP a *second* time,
so:
PGP PROGRAM.ASC
When you do this, PGP will use the file PROGRAM.ASC to
"authenticate" the file PROGRAM.ZIP, however, great faith should
NOT be placed in this, UNLESS you have obtained my public
keyfile from a *second*, independent source! Any slick hacker
could easily "substitute" his own public key in place of mine,
and slip you ghod-only-knows-what. Best bet, would be to take a
quick trip to the Internet, and grab a copy of my public key
from the MIT database of such, via Mosaic, WWWB, or even ftp,
and get it *that* way, then you can be fairly sure you have the
McCoy. Or alternitively, you could request a copy of my public
key from either of my BBS's (download ZIEGLERS.KEY)
(Rent-A-Tech BBS-[918]291-7201 Black Gold BBS-[918]272-7779).
The file PROGRAM.ZIP is what you unZIP into your RoboMail
directory, Dox files are in there, as well.
Again, thank you for trying RMSIG!
