Re: gnugpg question

Greetings,

Just my 1cent advice, could it just be a dos 2 unix conversion problem ?
If I remember well the data are stored in text file (asn1 I believe)
Try to open the file on the windowsbox using notepad if it output the
file with plenty of black square the it's most likely that the file is in Unix
format.
On the slackware box you should try to unix2dos it.

Hope it helps,
Jeremie.
