I am working on an interesting application using PGP.. and I have come upon a snag. I want to have a message with more that one "pgp block" ie more than one file encrypted and then all the encrypted files concatenated as one new file. If you just use "pgp file" it tries to overwrite the same file each time. If you give it multiple -o specifications, it only takes the last one, and tries to keep overwriting it. If you use -p, it names each file based on what the original encryptor called it, but in this application that would allow for the files to still overwrite each other. What I really need is a way to specify a "base" that is modified for each output. (eg base="file" and output files become "file.1" "file.2" "file.3" etc) Is this possible... can anyone give me *any* suggestions to improve the situation... This has to be an unattended operation. -- Nick MacDonald | NMD on IRC i6t4@jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca | PGP 2.1 Public key available via finger i6t4@unb.ca | (506) 457-1931 ^{1024/746EBB 1993/02/23}

I remember doing this once. What I did was (I think) I encrypted each file in turn and copied it to the end of the "master" file. You can then go back and wipe the temp-cypher files. When you pgp master.fil, it will extract each file in turn. And, yes, this is an automatic process. Hope this helps. +-----------------------+-----------------------------+---------+ | J.
