- README file for PGP International Freeware, Version 5.0i - AMIGA
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- ===================
-
- You will need:
-
- 1. An AMIGA with at least an '020 and a FPU... PGP5 runs too
- slow on anything less - believe me!
-
- 2. Version 47.0 of "ixemul.library" and "ixnet.library" located
- in your "LIBS:" assigned directory.
-
- 3. My PGP5 Public Key that was used to sign the MD5 Hash Sums in
- this archive. I've included it in this archive - Email me if
- you want to verify it's integrity. I'll send it to you. My
- Email address is located at the bottom of this document.
-
-
- OVERVIEW
- ========
-
- Welcome to this international freeware release of PGP 5.0, commonly
- referred to as PGP 5.0i. This archive contains everything you need to
- build a beta version of PGP 5.0i on the AMIGA platform.
-
- The source code contained in this archive is based on the UNIX source
- code known as "pgp50i-unix-src-b8a.tar.gz" which you can (normally)
- download from the same site you got this archive from.
-
- Currently, it is virtually a "straight" port from the UNIX source code
- - "#ifdef AMIGA" has been put in some appropriate places to get the
- compiled executable to work correctly in the AMIGA environment and a
- few bits of code have been added. Some parts of the "configure"
- script and it's associated input files have been altered to better suit
- the AMIGA environment and also too make them work on the AMIGA.
-
- Be warned that this source code has NOT been thoroughly investigated
- to make this a true AMIGA specific port. It has only been modified
- enough to make it usable and stable on an AMIGA. Not all functions
- have been tested. In particular, the "keyserver" functions have not
- been tested. Given the problems "ixemul.library" currently has
- working with TCP/IP stuff, I doubt it would work reliably - if at all!
- This was not a major concern during THIS port, but it WILL be in the
- future!
-
- It is assumed you have used previous versions of PGP (2.6, etc.) and
- are familiar with it's usage and the concepts of Public Key Encryption
- in general.
-
- Note that the operation, usage, and command line format has changed
- from previous versions of PGP - so you must read, at least, the
- documentation in this archive.
-
-
- DOCUMENTATION
- =============
-
- The documentation, normally available as UNIX "man" pages, is located
- in the "src/man/" directory. I've converted these "man" documents to
- ANSI for those of you that can't display "man" pages easily.
-
- Hmmm... What can I say? There isn't much documentation available
- about PGP5 Freeware! What you get with the AMIGA archive is pretty
- much what you get with the UNIX archive. A more detailed discussion
- on PGP 5.0 usage, including a copy of the PGP User's Manual and
- answers to FAQs, may be available from Ståle Schumacher's
- "International PGP Home Page":
-
- http://www.pgpi.com/
-
- As the AMIGA community comes up to speed with PGP5, I'll assume that
- more AMIGA specific documentation will become available. YOUR help
- would be greatly appreciated!
-
- I have a subscription with the "PGP-USERS" mailing list, so placing
- questions there will probably get a response from me if it's AMIGA
- related.
-
-
- PGP-USERS MAILING LIST
- ======================
-
- The PGP-USERS mailing list server, run by Fred B. Ringel, can be
- subscribed to via this WWW page:
-
- http://pgp.rivertown.net/
-
- This mailing list is for PGP users ONLY! Do not abuse this list!!!
- If the mail is not related to PGP then it's (usually) not going to get
- put on this list. You'll get the rules and regulations for using this
- mailing list when you subscribe. I suggest you read these rules and
- regulations very, very carefully or you can expect to be barred from
- this mailing list!
-
- Fred keeps a tight, well moderated reign on this mailing list. A warm
- thanks must go to Fred B. Ringel for his tireless dedication toward
- maintaining this mailing list. You can usually expect, on average,
- between 10 - 30 informative Emails a day about PGP from this list
- because of his effort...
-
-
- IN THE FUTURE
- =============
-
- I've started creating GUI's for PGP5. I have one ready for PGPK
- already!
-
- I've also adapted "YAPY1.3" to work with "YAM1.35" and PGP5.
- (But that one is being beta-tested ;-)
-
-
- THE PORTER
- ==========
-
- That's me - Stefan Zakarias <stef@amitar.com.au>.
-
- Feel free to Email me, regarding AMIGA PGP5, if:
-
- You need help compiling AMIGA PGP5.
- You come across bugs in the operation of AMIGA PGP5.
- You have bug fixes for AMIGA PGP5.
- You wish to become a Beta-Tester for AMIGA PGP5.
- You have suggestions for improving the operation of AMIGA PGP5.
- You want to get my public key that is used to signed this archive.
-
- OR
-
- Have a look at my AMIGA PGP5 web page so that you can download the
- latest versions of AMIGA PGP5 sources and executables.
-
- The web page address is: http://www.amitar.com.au/~stef/
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
- =================
-
- This isn't meant to sound nasty...
-
- Please, PLEASE, do NOT distribute modified AMIGA PGP5 versions of the
- source code or executables. I, and many other PGP users, do NOT wish
- to denigrate the integrity PGP has gained and maintained over the
- years. Not only that, but confusion between different versions will
- probably become a problem!
-
- I am prepared to be the source code maintainer for AMIGA PGP5. As
- source code changes to the UNIX version become available, I will
- incorporate them into the AMIGA source code. If you really need
- and/or require something to be put into the source code or executable
- then please submit your request, and any desired source code changes
- to me:
-
- Stefan Zakarias <stef@amitar.com.au>.
-
- If it is appropriate and/or necessary to the operation and integrity
- of AMIGA PGP5 then I will incorporate the changes into the following
- release of AMIGA PGP5.
-
-
- HOW TO COMPILE PGP5.0i FOR THE AMIGA COMPUTER
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ============
-
- This document assumes you know how to compile programs using:
-
- "sh", "configure", "make", etc.
-
- from the GNU suite of compiler programs.
-
- You need to have a more or less complete GNU compiling environment
- such as the Geek Gadgets - ADE (Amiga Developer Environment).
-
- For compiling, you will need:
-
- At least 6Mb of free RAM.
- At least 10Mb of Hard Disk space.
- An '020+FPU AMIGA computer (bigger IS better;).
- Approx. 1.5 hours free for the first build and compile
- (Based on A1200, 40mhz '030, FPU)
-
-
- COMPILING
- =========
-
- The "configure" script and the "config/pre.in", "config/post.in", and
- "Makefile.in" input files have been modified to work with the AMIGA
- environment. If you modify them, then you're on your own!!!
-
- At the AmigaDOS shell prompt, type:
-
- set CFLAGS "-m68020 -m68881 -O2"
- set LDFLAGS "-s"
-
- If you don't set the above mentioned local environment flags, then
- "configure" will create makefiles to generate HUGE executables because
- debugging symbols will be added to the libraries and executables!!!
-
- Make sure you are in the "src/" directory then type:
-
- sh configure --prefix=/ADE m68k-cbm-amigados
-
- This will then begin configuring and building the "makefiles". This
- will take 5-10 mins. the first time, so be patient!
-
- When "configure" has completed, at the AmigaDOS shell prompt type:
-
- make
-
- This will start the compiling process. After an hour or so, you
- SHOULD end up with NEW executables in the "src/apps/pgp" and the
- "src/apps/pgpk" directories.
-
- Verify that the executables exist and then type:
-
- make install
-
- The executables will then be copied to your "ADE:bin/" directory.
-
- The UNIX "man" docs will be copied to your "ADE:man/man1" and
- "ADE:man/man5" directories.
-
- If "ADE:bin/" is not in your normal default AmigaDOS search path then
- copy the executables PGPE, PGPS, PGPV and PGPK to your "C:" directory.
-
- YOU MUST NOT NAME THESE FILES AS ANYTHING ELSE OR THEY MAY NOT WORK!
