If users inside the USA take to using PGP 2.6 then users outside the USA will, by fair means or foul, have to obtain PGP 2.6 (or at least enough technical data to enable them to independently implement the relevant algorithms). Failing that, they will have to live with the inability to read messages from PGP 2.6 users inside the USA. Sigh. I wonder whether anybody is deliberately fostering a split between USA and non-USA users of PGP.

I just found PGP 2.5 on a non-USA ftp site. I expect 2.6 will turn up there. Dave
