PGP3, which I've been working on with Colin Plumb for some time, is based upon a specified API. Although the API is still under development, the plan is to have libraries available for UNIX, Mac, and Windows (DLL).
At this time the API Spec and Programmer's Guide documents are not publically available. Hopefully this will change in the next few weeks.
Odd. I remember a prototype API spec being posted to c'punks last year. (Or was that something else?) And, what does this have to do with ViaCrypt PGP 4.0? Would it be 3.0 compatible or is it something entirely different? Rob. --- Send a blank message with the subject "send pgp-key" (not in quotes) to <WlkngOwl@unix.asb.com> for a copy of my PGP key.

What you saw was a prior incarnation of PGP3. What we have does look farily similar to that old spec. But I think that the new spec is a lot easier to understand and use. Hopefully the spec will get to a state where it can be released for public consumption really soon.

I dont know. I dont work for ViaCrypt, and they have been fairly secretive in their work. For all I know, they've made ViaCrypt PGP 4.0 completely incompatible with PGP 2.6.2 and PGP3. -derek
