Encryption for OS/2
I would like to hear from CP's who have implemented PGP on OS/2. I'm a little concerned that I can only encrypt FAT files when the bulk of my data are on HPFS formatted drives. Is there a group out there? Second item. I have some comments on Communications Security (COMSEC) I would like to make but I think I'd better post anonymously. Could someone point me to a suitable forwarder? Thanks.

Although I have not implemented PGP on my OS/2 drive yet, I don't see it as a problem. I run many DOS/FAT apps on my system that work well under HPFS. After all, you are just issuing a file open command, and then a series of reads, nothing the system can't handle. The only place I see a problem is with file names. If you haven't modified the source, and compiled it will a decent OS/2 compiler, then it will only work with 8.3 names. Good luck. Let me know if you have any problems. In the mean time, I'll be installing it here. -ck
