Since Linux 5.5 isn't ready yet, we're distributing source for diffs between PGP 5.0i b8 up to the final 5.0 UNIX release. Meanwhile, all the source to the Win32 and Mac versions of 5.5.2 is about to go to press. The version number of the freeware going up today is 5.5.2 as we've had a couple free updates since the main release of 5.5 Business Security. The freeware version contains information on exactly what the differences are between the Freeware, Personal Privacy, and Business Security editions of the product. -Will At 2:48 AM -0800 11/19/97, Tom Vier wrote:
