Re: PGP 5.5 available outside US
It seems that unknown Cypherpunks have yet again shown their disrespect of US export laws by exporting the latest version of PGP. The Windows version of PGP 5.5 is now available for your downloading pleasure at ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/crypto/incoming/PGP55.zip

First, a PGP employee announces that PGP 5.5 is available for download. Second, I try to download it a dozen times, only to have the connection broken each time, after outrageously long periods of waiting for an extremely slow transfer. Third, PGP 5.5 disappears from the server. Fourth, everyone I talk to tells me their attempt to download the file failed. I don't _need_ PGP 5.5. I have a beta-test version of PGP 5.0 which serves me rudimentarily well for my purposes. I would like to check out PGP 5.5 in order to make a proper evaluation of the features and technology involved, but it seems that it is not available for this purpose. PGP will undoubtedly survive without my support, but I find it sad that after many years of supporting PGP products, I can no longer do so with any amount of integrity. Anonymous

Let me state that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of PGP. I simply noticed what I thought to be PGP 5.5 on a well known FTP site. Sorry if it was a dud. -- Lucky Green <shamrock@cypherpunks.to> PGP encrypted email preferred. "Tonga? Where the hell is Tonga? They have Cypherpunks there?"

I downloaded it successfully, although I did have to try several times. If at first you don't succeed...
