It's truly a deplorable state of affairs.
For the next version, include PGP free with every version of Quicken, and have Quicken just "call" PGP.
Of course, users can encrypt their files now with PGP. Is there an Intuit bboard where someone could post instructions?
This is a good idea. I'll bring it up with the appropriate people.
Right now, we only have some cheesy forums going on Compuserve and Prodigy; however, keep your eyes peeled. We have other stuff in the works.
PGP is probably too unweildy for the non-hobbyist to comfortably use. I don't know if anyone else has suggested it but I'd strongly encourage Intuit to make CryptDisk for the Mac easily available. I use it to maintain an encrypted partition for my financial data and the user interface is quite simple. I believe the DOS equivalent is SecureDisk. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |Steve Bryan Internet: sbryan@gofast.net |Sexton Software CompuServe: 76545,527 |Minneapolis, MN Fax: (612) 929-1799 |PGP key fingerprint: B4 C6 E2 A6 5F 87 57 7D E1 8C A6 9B A9 BE 96 CB +----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that it's a good idea to make users aware of the options. I haven't used CryptDisk or SecureDisk myself, but I'll check them both out. - Mark - -- Mark Chen chen@intuit.com 415/329-6913 finger for PGP public key D4 99 54 2A 98 B1 48 0C CF 95 A5 B0 6E E0 1E 1D
