DOS users can always encrypt their keyfile on a floppy encrypted with SecureDrive. <G>

What I do is I zipped up my pubring.pgp and secring.pgp files into an encrypted zip file, then used PGP's conventional encryption to encrypt the zipfile. Then to use pgp, I run a batch file that copies the encrypted zip files to a ramdrive, decrypt the conventional encryption by prompting for the password, then having pkunzip decompress the zipfile and prompting for it's password, and then presto.
