It seems PGP has been too successful. I downloaded the entire keyring from keys.pgp.net; it's almost 9Mb of ASCII armour. However, I can't get PGP for DOS to process the files. It, understandably, gives me an Out Of Memory error. Is there any sneaky way of getting around this, barring the obvious switch to PGP for Linux? It seems PGP is constrained to the basic DOS 640Kb, or 704Kb if I remove my VGA card.
Use the 32-bit DOS version; that solves most memory problems. (Caveat: I haven't tried rings that large myself, so if you're already using the 32-bit version then I'm wrong.)
