PGPClip 1.3 by Michael Meyer
============================
Disclaimer:
===========
This program is free. Use at your own risk.
PGPClip is a simple front end to PGP which uses the clipboard for its
operations.
It is not a full blown replacement for many of the other Windows based
front ends for PGP, but one which allows quick encryption, decryption,
and signing using the clipboard.
Example usage:
==============
Mail Signing:
-------------
Type your mail message in Eudora or other Windows based program, from
that program's menu choose "Edit|Select All", then "Edit Cut". This
will cut your text to the clipboard.
Then activate PGPClip, check the "Sign" checkbox, then click the
Encrypt/Sign button to sign the message. PGP will appear in a DOS box,
enter your pass phrase, switch back to your mail package then choose
"Edit|Paste", voila, your signed message will appear.
Other:
------
Check the "Encrypt" checkbox to encrypt your message.
Check both to encrypt and sign.
Check Show Names to show the list of keys, click on a key to toggle its
selection. If not keys are selected, PGP will prompt you for recipients.
Notes:
------
Your _default.pif should be configured to have the the following
options:
Display Usage: ( ) Full Screen
(O) Windowed
[X] Close Window on Exit
If you select too many keys, the command line could exceed 127
characters, causing a VB error when you try to Encrypt. Reduce the
number of recipients.
PGPClip is written in Visual Basic 3.0 and requires VBRUN300.DLL,
GRID.VBX, and THREED.VBX. These are available elsewhere. Send me mail
if you require these. They are in 7 files about 60K each uuencoded.
If you should get out of string space errors, try to reduce the amount
of text you are encrypting/signing. You have run into a VB String
limit. This limit is near 64K.
Please mail comments or suggestions.
Changes: 1.3
============
11/22/94
------------
Changed Sign and Encrypt to be check boxes, allowing
signing and encrypting.
If neither is selected, the action will be to store the
text in compressed ascii armor.
Consolidated file io routines.
Changed file io routines to allow for larger files, reducing
out of string space messages.
PGPClip will remember its window location.
PGPClip will move its window if the names appear off of the edge of the
screen.
The location for PGP[.exe] can be specified in win.ini, under PGPClip, PGPExe.
The .EXE is not needed.
[PGPClip]
PGPExe=c:\pgp\mypgp\pgp ; This is for c:\pgp\mypgp\pgp.exe
Allow only one instance of PGPClip, if it is already running, switch to
it.

Added option to pause after PGP execution for signing and encrypting.
Pause is always enabled for Decrypting/Verifying.
