Douglas Sinclair helped me uncover a subtle problem which may arise in the use of the remailer scripts: since errors are redirected to /dev/null or nul, if a key is untrusted (or isn't there), the script will hang, waiting for input from a prompt you don't see. New versions of hop.mail, hop.send, and anon.mail should be up at the ftp site soon... If anybody feels like porting these scripts to the Mac, Amiga, or VMS, please feel free! I know zippo about these platforms, as far as batch languages. Also, regarding compatibility with pc's - although the MSDOS script language could stand some big time improvement, it seems the best to use for max portability. But I'll definitely attempt a PERL translation and then the folks who can use PERL will be able to. /-----------------------------------\ | Karl L.
