How soon before a Mac compatible version is available? Or will the current version run under Soft PC on the Mac, which is essentially a PC-emulator...? If yes to either, sign me up...!

Have you tried the freeware version of MacPGP yet? It is very easy to use. The next release (now in beta) will even support AppleEvents. I think it will be quite a while before you can buy something similar. [And why would you want to pay if you can get for free?]

I was a beta tester of the latest version of MacPGP, and it looks *very* nice. Some annoying minor bugs have been fixed and a few new features added, including a hook for BBEdit (a godsend). I assume it'll be released any week now, if not sooner. If it's true that the freeware version of PGP will be allowed to exist alongside the new (sourceless) commercial version, I don't think the cypherpunk in the know will have much trouble choosing... --Dave.
