I certainly can't speak for Phil, but according to everything I have heard,
and according to several articles that have been written about the events
surrounding the release of PGP 1.0, Phil most definitely DID NOT place the
PGP 1.0 software on any kind of ftp site.
(I believe that at that time, circa 1991, Phil did not even have any kind
of ISP or university Internet access which would have even made this
possible for him. In fact, I believe it was not until around 1993 that he
had a stable e-mail account.)
I believe the first site to carry PGP 1.0 was Adelante BBS in Colorado where
Phil was living at the time. I was a user of that site when 1.0 was put
online and made publicaly available. I still have the Amiga disk those files
were d/l'ed on.

Somebody should ask Phil if he put v1.0 on any sites prior to Adelante.
