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.
