- Subject: PGP 2.2 for OS/2 available
- Date: Tue, 09 Mar 93 23:48:56 MET
-
- OS/2 executables for PGP 2.2 are available from
-
- ftp.uni-erlangen.de, pub/pc/os2/fauern/crypt/pgp22os2.zip
-
- The archive contains 16-bit (OS/2 1.x) and 32-bit (OS/2 2.x)
- executables. The 16-bit one runs under OS/2 2.x and even under plain
- DOS as well, while the 32-bit one runs under OS/2 2.x only.
-
- I did not do too extensive testing (due to lack of time at the moment)
- but it seems to function normally.

- Sorry for my laziness, I should have mentioned, what PGP *is* (to
- comp.os.os2.apps readers, sci.crypt readers will be familiar with it).
-
- PGP is a free public key encryption program for personal use, the
- three letters stand for "pretty good privacy". See discussions in
- sci.crypt for details or read the docs included with the program.
-
- I should also have mentioned, that people should not upload the
- program and/or the source code (which is also available from the same
- place) to any archive in the US that is accessible from outside the
- US. While PGP 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 is available from many 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.
