checked. However, the result is widely known. MD5 is *not* something that should be trusted going forward, and I hope the next version of PGP uses SHA-1.
As I understand the current plans, PGP 3.0 _will_ incorporate a SHA option. In fact, I believe that there may already be "bootleg" versions that incorporate SHA.
What is the difference between SHA and SHA-1? Is this algorithm subject to the same licensing as MD5? Could someone point me to such a bootleg version for DOS, please?

The difference between SHA and SHA.1 is the "small technical change" that was added last year. I'm not sure what you mean by "licensing", since there are no licensing issues for MD5 (unless you mean "export issues", in which case SHA, SHA.1 and MD5 all fall into the same category).

Umm, good luck. -derek
