Location of PGP 5.0
Where can I find a copy of PGP 5.0 which handles this "SHA1" hash extension, and the new forced incompatabilities? I'm looking for a Linux distribution. All I've found are Windoze versions, really old betas which break *everything* which calls PGP from a script or command line, and betas which have a lame expired timebomb in them. Source is prefered for obvious reasons. Any ideas? (Yes, I'm in the U.S.)

The MIT site has a precompiled Linux ELF binary of PGP5. Source is, they say, coming RSN. And yes, all versions of PGP5 will, for the time being, break just about all your old scripts. Eventually, they'll finish the pgp2 emulator (they claim it, too, will be out RSN) and most of your old scripts should work again. dave -- Today's pseudorandom quote: Not tonight dear, I installed Linux.

There's a Linux beta on www.pgpi.com which you may or may not consider to be "really old", and I think I heard there's now a Linux version on www.pgp.com or mit.edu. However, it's likely that it will still break command-line versions that think they know too much about the 2.6.2 output format, unless the PGP porting folks did a spectacular and annoyingly hard job.
