I seem to be having problems using the Mac version of PGP, in that when I type ANY character into it, I just get a "beep". Is there some other thing I have to do to get this thing to work? I also want to start building by public key ring so I can learn how to use this puppie, but I am concerned with possible legal problems in using this to communicate with my friends. According to the disclaimer, PGP is "contraband"? Will I get the "thought police" busting down my door for using it? Is anyone working on a Mac version that is more Mac'ish? Like putting in a nice Mac like GUI for key management. It would be nice if it had a pub (or private) "key list" in an editable scrollable list. The Mac version in "mac.archive.umich.edu" appears with just a "cheapie" console window that behaves like I described above. If I had source code, I could "wrap it" in a nice Object oriented GUI and maintain the file format for the keys. Thanx Eric for the Email address for Zbigniew Fiedorowicz. Has anyone contacted Zbigniew relating to the Mac port? It appears to have some problems, but time limitations has prevented me from fiddling with it tonight. I think I might actually have access to the Nets tommorrow, so I'll be "on-line". Cheers JD
