Well, I like this one. It lets you put little messages in place of argv[0].

#include <stdio.h>

char buff[100]; int esc = 27;

void main(int argc, char *argv[]) { puts("Enter message.\n"); scanf("%s", buff); execl("/nfs/dorado/unsup/bin/ftp", buff, NULL); }

Yeah, I like that too... 'cept if you need to pass args, it doesn't provide a covert channel. I confess to not having read my PGP manuals yet, but is there an interactive mode to PGP? If there WERE (hint), then it could be run as a subprocess of emacs or a mail program and thus be a) more convenient and b) the whole hub-bub about people snooping your environment would be a non-issue.
