How did you obtain this copy of PGP which isn't supposed to exist?  I sure 

don't know... and I hope that you do not know either!



This isn't supposed to exist because it contains bug fixes and enhancements 

which have not been sanctioned... since this is an unauthorized copy of PGP, 

you really should distroy it immediately, right now, before even reading 

this document further!

Well... since you obviously haven't (yet) taken my advise to distroy this 

copy of PGP, I might as well describe the differences between this copy of 

PGP, and the authorized version...



- - The authorized version claims to handle 2048 bit keys, but has bugs which 

interfere with this... for example the authorized version cannot make a 2048 

bit key. When trying to make a 2048 bit key, it'll produce a 2047 bit key. 

THIS copy of PGP can create and handle 4096 bit keys. (yes it really can!)



- - The authorized version forces you to have the PGP documentation on your 

disk where PGP can locate it, or to use a convoluted command-line to 

override it. THIS copy doesn't force such bull-shit upon you...



- - The authorized version uses the RSAREF Tool-Kit. THIS ONE DOES NOT!



- - The authorized version produces output which cannot be used by versions 

prior to 2.6.  THIS one does too... but allows you to override this 

"feature" by setting a variable in the PGP.INI configuration file, or by 

including "+old_version=on" on the command-line.  Altho this is not 

recommended, some have a need to communicate with those using the older 

versions from time to time...



- - The authorized version identifies itself as version 2.6.2 in it's output. 

THIS one does too by default... but it allows this to be over-ridden by 

setting a variable in the PGP.INI configuration file, or by including 

"+version=nnn" on the command-line.  This allows you to make PGP use an 

alias...



- - The authorized version had a few bugs... THIS one has had all known and/or 

reported bugs fixed...



Refer to the sample PGP.INI enclosed, for information on the enhanced 

settings.



Be sure to verify the signature for the executable file... you may need to 

process the key contained in the keys.asc file to verify the signature, 

unless you already have the Public Key for the Rebellious Guerrilla...
