However, I have the prog available here at aql.gatech.edu /pub/cypherpunks/pgp/binaries in cpt.hqx format. The source code for gzip is also available in /pub.
Thanks, but a) BINARIES? b) who are these binaries PGP-signed by? c) what program do I use to verify the signature(s)?
If you look in this directory you will find pgp sigs for the files by the uploading individuals. I do not have access to every type of computer, thus I queried on cypherpunks approximately 5 weeks (I think) for binary submissions. The unix versions have individual sigs as you can see, as to the dos, this is the original shipping material, I have not looked inside since I rely on Unix myself. The Mac version was picked up from soda.berkeley.edu, as I understand it sigs are included within the compactor pro archive. The os2 version is in the same boat as dos. As for the amiga version, I am at a loss I do not have access to an amiga, but viewing the archive a signature is apparently not attached. I will try to find out who I received the file from as I currently do not remember. I would like everyones opinion though. I thought that offering binaries from sources I considered secure was a good idea. I understand the inherent danger in not compiling the source yourself, but.... not everyone knows how to compile. What is the list's opinion. Is this a bad idea? Improper? Paul -- R O All Comments Copyright by | Technofetisht A N Paul S.
