Is this true ? Probably not. In my reply to a query about it, I recommended the use of Viacrypt, mainly because of legal concerns, and partly because of the prospects of printed documentation (I like manuals I can burn when I'm done with them), user support, and so on. (Bluntly, I'm currently having to drop all the way out to DOS to sign things right now, and I don't think the Premier's office would be too wild about such a prospect. They're probably all Windows people, so they'll run the Windows version, if they use it at all. Bob Rae is the premier of Ontario, not the prime minister (though in French, he would be "le premier ministre" of Ontario). Oh. What is cypherpunks thought on having two Rae keys? Many business people have photocopied signatures (or digitized) for relatively unimportant mailings... Can a key be shared among the premier and his confidential secretary, say, with another for legal matters and a third for private communications? According to the PGP 2.6.1 User's Guide: "The freeware version of PGP is only for personal, non-commercial use -- all other users in the USA and Canada must obtain a fully licensed version of PGP from ViaCrypt. [...] If you have a need to use PGP in a commercial or Government setting, and ViaCrypt has a version of PGP for your hardware platform, you should get ViaCrypt PGP."
Mea culpa. I was thrown by the US government's free use of it (I think they get that, don't they?). On a silly note, my government is not currently making money, and could hardly be classified as being in business. ;) frodo - -- Richard Martin ChemPhysCompSci 9T7+PEY = 9T8 g4frodo@cdf.toronto.edu Trinity College University of Toronto SVW92 martinrd@gpu.utcc.toronto.edu My opinions, when not poached.
