I tinkered with the switch pgp +makerandom=size output.fil

Is there a way to "seed" the PRNG with another file, say , part of an encrypted text file?

Copy the first 408 bytes of that file to the randseed.bin file in your pgp directory. (I'd save the original randseed.bin file or use a good RNG to generate a new one when you're done). - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
