If patches are going to be produced for PGP 2.3a for those of us outside the USA who wish to send PGP encrypted data to USA users of v2.6, will the patches also enable a key from a patched 2.3a to be put onto a USA key-server that only accepts v2.6 keys - will the keys be labelled as v2.6? I take it Pr0duct Cypher's patch doesn't include this? Maybe instead of many people producing different patches (some of which will be good and some bad) a new version (labelled as v2.6euro?) should be released from outside the USA that is derived from 2.3a code; therefore producing a version that is no different in _appearance_ to MIT's v2.6. The point being that an 'ALL-NEW-SUPER-DUPER' version may attract more attention outside the USA than, as some may view it, 'just a pointless patch' would do. Also, some ftp sites and bulletin boards outside the USA don't like carrying software that was illegally exported. A special non-USA version of 2.6 would allow everyone to be happy and compatible. Wouldn't this create a unified world of compatible PGP users? *************************************************************************** * Paul Strong Witty one-liner coming soon! * * * * pauls@dcs.rhbnc.ac.uk Finger for PGP v2.3a public key * ***************************************************************************
