Greetings cypherpunks: Talked to Phiil Zimmerman on phone this evening, and he recommends that the current Mac team be devided up into teo parts. One a short term team which no doubt will be what exists already, and a long term team to do a more Mac'ish GUI. I agreed to do that, and Phil is planning to set up a phone conference call with the entire Mac PGP team to introduce the new proposals to everyone at once. this meeting will happen sometime early this week, and I'll be giving reports on what has transpired. I also sent to each of the Mac PGP members the details of the cypherspace meeting, but have not yet mentioned my proposal to help manage the team, as I want to meet everyone first. I also agreed to make up a function list of the C functions in the PGP program (Which I usually do when I study new code), and will send it to anyone who wants it. Oh!! By the way, If I start up the existing Mac PGP, running Microphone II at the same time. Then, when I encrypt a file, it hangs up the system. This only hangs up when I decrypt a file first, then I go into editor to edit a file, and save it. After saving the plaintext file, then I encrypt it, it will hang up the Mac and needs resetting. It requires a COLD boot, and not a simple reset. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I suspect that a new version of Mac PGP might soon become available. Hmmm I must start thinking of what the ICON should look like!! More later.... John D.
short term team which no doubt will be what exists already, and I assume you already know that a Mac PGP exists? I didn't mention it before because the discussion seemed to be about doing a "real" version. mac.archive.umich.edu:mac/util/encryption/macpgp2.0.sit.hqx is the path. It is still there right now... _Mark_ <eichin@athena.mit.edu> <eichin@cygnus.com> % ftp mac.archive.umich.edu Connected to mac.archive.umich.edu. 220- 220- Welcome to 220- the U of M Software Archives 220- 220- 220 carpediem.ccs.itd.umich.edu FTP server (Version 6.9 Thu Oct 15 23:44:46 EDT 1992) ready.
