version 2.2 locks up 8088-based computers. Version 2.1 does not. There is an unauthorized bug fix version, 2.21. I use 2.2 as it
Uu> PGP 2.2 runs without a hitch on at least one 10 MHz+ XT Uu> box in which the 8088 was replaced with an NEC V-20 and an 8087 Uu> co-processor added when new... about six years ago. I don't doubt it for a second, but I know it definitely will lock up a real 8088. Also there is a problem with DesqView in some cases. Uu> Probably far more XT boxes running, worldwide, than some Uu> are capable of imagining. I'm sure of that, too. PGP is a worldwide phenomenon, & there are a whole lot of XT-class computers in the outside world. Uu> Key generation on the XT is as exciting... and as fast... Uu> as a baseball game... Well, more like _cricket_, actually. 8-) Uu> Encryption speed is more than adequate. Considering the math involved, yes. Still even a 20MHz 286 fairly flies doing PGP tasks in comparison, though. ********************************************************************* * <m..stirner@f28.n125.z1.fidonet.org> - PGP Key D30909 via servers * * > What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not <* * > warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit <* * > of resistance?
