GoldED and PGP. Rev:931218
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This document describes how you can install PGP in your GoldED setup.
The examples assume that you have PGP 2.3 or higher installed in the
directory C:\PGP.
Add the following to your GOLDED.CFG:
--- Cut ---
IF DOS
EXTERNUTIL 1 c:\pgp\pgp.exe +force -sa @file "@dname" "@oname" -u
"@oname" -o @file
EXTERNUTIL 2 c:\pgp\pgp.exe +force -ea @file "@dname" "@oname" -o
@file
EXTERNUTIL 3 c:\pgp\pgp.exe +force @file -o @file
ELSEIF OS/2
EXTERNUTIL 1 c:\pgp\pgp2.exe +force -sa @file "@dname" "@oname" -u
"@oname" -o @file
EXTERNUTIL 2 c:\pgp\pgp2.exe +force -ea @file "@dname" "@oname" -o
@file
EXTERNUTIL 3 c:\pgp\pgp2.exe +force @file -o @file
ENDIF
EDITSAVEMENU Yes
EDITSAVEUTIL 1 "S PGP Sign the msg"
EDITSAVEUTIL 2 "E PGP Encrypt the msg"
EDITSAVEUTIL 3 "D PGP Decrypt the msg"
--- Cut ---
NOTE: The configuration lines for utilities 1 and 2 were split in two
due to the document margin. They must of course be on one line
in the actual GOLDED.CFG.
Add the following to your GOLDKEYS.CFG:
--- Cut ---
F11 ExternUtil01 ; Sign
F12 ExternUtil02 ; Encrypt
^F11 ExternUtil03 ; Decrypt
--- Cut ---
You need to have KEYBEXT Yes in GOLDED.CFG if you want to use the
F11/F12 keys. You can of course assign other keys, just make sure they
don't clash with already defined keys.
Both the signature and encryption PGP commandlines are set up for
multiple recipients, the TO: name and your own FROM: name. Otherwise
you would not be able to decrypt your own msgs, and that could get a
bit unpractical ;-)
HOW TO USE IT:
To sign or encrypt a msg, simply select the appropriate menu item in
the save menu. Another method is described below.
To decrypt an encrypted msg, Hit Ctrl-F11 while viewing the msg in the
reader. After decryption, you can write the msg to disk/printer, reply
to it, copy it, etc. The decrypted text will revert as soon as you
move away from the msg, or after you perform any operation on it. To
make a decrypted msg permanent (saved to disk in decrypted form), use
the Change Msg command after decryption and then save the msg
immediately, or use the copy function if you want to keep the original
untouched..
One thing to be aware of, is that the encrypted msg text does NOT
contain kludges if it was encrypted from the EDITSAVEMENU. If you make
such a text permanent, you would loose the kludges. Currently the only
way to keep kludges in the encrypted text is to encrypt it "manually"
after saving it, using F11, Change Msg, save immediately. If you do it
this way, you should be careful in a multitask/network environment,
where a mail scanner could scan out the unencrypted msg before you get
a chance to encrypt it... I hope to fix this problem in a future
release.
Enjoy!
