PGP 2.6ui for OS/2 availability
[PGP 2.6ui is a version derived from PGP 2.3a with the goal of
compatibility to MIT's PGP 2.6, which is available to US citizens only.]
The OS/2 version of PGP 2.6ui is available from
ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
/pub/comp/os/os2/crypt/pgp26ui-os2.zip (executables)
/pub/comp/os/os2/crypt/pgp26ui-src.zip (source code)
The executables archive contains a 32-bit (OS/2 2.x) executable, no
16-bit OS/2 1.x executable.
PGP is a free public key encryption program for personal use, the three
letters stand for "pretty good privacy". See discussions in sci.crypt
or alt.security.pgp for details or read the docs included with the
program. In the alt.security.pgp news group, a FAQ is posted
periodically which contains a lot of useful information about PGP.
I should also have mentioned, that people should not upload the program
and/or the source code to any archive in the US that is accessible from
outside the US. While PGP 2.6ui was written outside the US and can be
imported into the US by individuals using it, it may not be re-exported
from the US (silly regulations). If you put it onto an FTP site or BBS
where non-US users may download it, you can cause the archive
owner/maintainer a lot of trouble.
PGP 2.6ui (source code, DOS executable) is available from several
european (I don't know about other, such as australian) ftp sites.
Other european sites that carry OS/2 software (there are quite a few in
Germany alone) are encouraged to mirror PGP for OS/2 from the above
site.
Compared to PGP 2.3A for OS/2, a few bugs have also been fixed!
