As I said in my first message, I've heard 2.5 has already found its way out of the US. If that is the case, then the non-US users have access to 2.5. If they do have access to 2.5, then could we discuss the technical merits of patching 2.5 v. patching 2.3? Lets do a quick check and see where that might be...

Hmm, recently I received a enourmous amount of diffs, patches and what so ever, to make pgp 2.3(a) compatible with pgp 2.6 (har) now were at it, there isn't really a big difference between the two versions (as far as I can tell) and the little hack from PC does the trick nice. However you could also do it your self, letting the VERSION_BYTE change when september 1 1994 is passed. We'll try to make a nice new PGP 2.3c, which will be 100% compatible with the 2.6 version. (Bug fixes from 2.3 to 2.4 from Branko Lankester are already applied, now the compatibility problem will be to let 2.3 know it is 2.6) --Eric-- "they'll get my crypto key when they pry it from my dead, cold fingers" -NSA's (former) chief counsel Stewart Baker "the NSA being the devious bastards" - Michael Handler +----------------------------------------+----------------------------+ | Eric Limpens | Where is my spycamera !? | | | ..Bart Simpson.. | | <Limpe001@hio.tem.nhl.nl> +----------------------------+ | S=limpe001;OU=hio;OU=tem;O=nhl;PRMD=surf;ADMD=400net;C=nl | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ "they'll get my crypto key when they pry it from my dead, cold fingers" -NSA's (former) chief counsel Stewart Baker "the NSA being the devious bastards" - Michael Handler +----------------------------------------+----------------------------+ | Eric Limpens | Where is my spycamera !? | | | ..Bart Simpson.. | | <Limpe001@hio.tem.nhl.nl> +----------------------------+ | S=limpe001;OU=hio;OU=tem;O=nhl;PRMD=surf;ADMD=400net;C=nl | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
