I am just announcing that I am changing the name of my program, Very Good Privacy (distinct from Pretty Good Privacy) in response to a complaint from PGP, Inc. It was cool, though, because I got an e-mail message from Phil, which is akin to talking with God. Just to quell the trademark questions some people might have, a trademark violation is defined as something where there is a possibility of confusion with another product; as made obvious by the hundreds (literally) of messages I have received asking about the features of this new version of PGP (which it is not). I have not changed the name of the product on the web page, and will just post a notice of clarification until I think of a new name. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
How about something like "Really Secure Algorithm"? (I doubt people would confuse your program with the Republic of South Africa, usually abbreviated as "RSA," so there should be no further collision problems.) --Klaus!
