- 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!
