I was wondering what the status of getting PGP compiled on a VAX was. The academic machine here is a VAX 6540 running VMS 5.5-1. Of course I avoid it, but I want to spread the good word amongst the IUP student users. Any place I can get documentation?

According to Jeff at ViaCrypt, they have yet to start working on an "official" version of PGP on the VAX. However, if you get the source code you will no doubt see the MMS and VAX assembly language files (*.MAR). I attempted to get it to compile but couldn't. You are going to have to edit the files to add a few header files, even with the MMS file. I was toying with the idea of starting to work on a port to OpenVMS so it will run on an alpha, but there are some issues reguarding commercial usage that I'm somewhat leery of (I use this account almost soley as a personal account, yet the company pays for it...). I've even stopped using PGP several months ago for personal use until I can scrap up enough money for a real-live-registered-professional copy. Does anyone have any input as to ViaCrypts windows PGP application? Is this any good? If you need any help, send me e-mail I'll be happy to do this for you. I guess compiling code for someone else won't violate the license restrictions. -- Joe N.
