And a little flame: Before you put down our software, try writing some of your own.
This is uncalled for. Xenon has consistently admitted that he isn't a programmer and that he isn't *able* to write cryptography software. In no way does that make his criticism any less valid. Rather than wasting time flaming him (I know, you just flamed a little), perhaps *you* should write the code Xenon wants... or perhaps *I* should... That's like telling someone who can't read that they shouldn't criticize the technique that you are using to teach them to read until they have tried to develop their own technique to teach reading... Remember, no matter *how* the criticism is couched, the *real* criticism is that PGP doesn't have random block output mode... All of the other verbage in which it was couched isn't relevant or important... looking past the manner in which the complaint is presented and attempting to fix the problem which was the cause of the complaint is the key to good product maintainence. Let's help PGP become a product... Jon Boone | PSC Networking | boone@psc.edu | (412) 268-6959 | PGP Key # B75699 PGP Public Key fingerprint = 23 59 EC 91 47 A6 E3 92 9E A8 96 6A D9 27 C9 6C
