low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back

STEP 1:
Copy the PGPBLUE2 files to the directory you want them stored in, and run
PGPBLUE2 to make up your configuration file.
STEP 2:
Setup will ask you six questions:
***NOTE:Do not use any DOS programs, this is an OS/2 specific program.
1:The path to your message editor.
EXAMPLE: C:\UTIL\T2.EXE
2:The path to your spell checker
EXAMPLE: C:\SPELL\SS.EXE
*NOTE if you don't use a spell checker enter NOS for this option
3:The path to PGP

*NOTE If you use a ring other than PUBRING.PGP enter the ring you use
STEP 3:
When you get PGPBLUE2 in the directory you want it, and setup your

setup. Start Bluewave and Press S for the setup menu. Key over to the
"Directories" heading and move down to "Edit File Path" press enter.
Type in the path to PGPBLUE2.EXE a space and then an @F and press enter.

*******NOTE: You must type in the full path to PGPBLUE2, in order for
PGPBLUE2 to be able to find the configuration file.
USING PGPBLUE2:
***NOTE:If you are EDITING a message, and NOT REPLYING to a message,
DO NOT press "K" for Kill Message & Exit, it will create
a blank message.
Posting a Normal message(No Encryption):
If you want to Reply, Post, or Edit a message normally with no
Encryption, do everything as you would, and when you see this screen:
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ PGP BLUE [Y]es or [N]o │
└─────────────────────────┘
Just press "N" for no or you can press any key except for "Y". This
bypasses PGPBLUE2 for easy editing of non-encrypted messages.
