- Me not read docs?? Don't you recognize me? Anyway, the pgp docs only make
- sense once you figure out how pgp works. I would have figured out what was
- going on much quiker if there was a pgp documentation translator included in
- the archive. For instance, half of the guide assumes you are fluent in UNIX.
- The other half assumes you previously knew all about every file pgp uses. On
- top of that, it assumes you know everything about environment variables.
- Finally it assumes you have used pgp before as the entire doc is absent of a
- single example of pgp use. It's all legal crap and technical specifications -
- not one single sentence on use. Maybe you wouldn't mind writing a doc on pgp
- USE for everyone to read?
