- I noticed one small problem with the Amiga PGP binary. On my unaccelerated
- A2000, it's very easy to outrun the keyboard-timing routines when the program
- asks for "random input".
-
- I haven't taken a close look at the source code for keyboard timing, but
- when I did an experimental port of PGP for the DICE compiler under 1.3, I
- also had the same problem.
