Organization: The Personal Computer User Group, UK Date: Sun, 21 Aug 1994 23:22:23 GMT Sender: hdrw () ibmpcug co uk (Howard Winter) In case anyone's interested, the magazine PC Answers (issue 7, Sept 94) here in England has a copy of PGP 2.6 on a cover disk, along with the Windows front end: PGP WinFront from Ross Barclay. This appears to be the 'plain' version, no suffix. If it wasn't supposed to be exported from the USA, it's leaked in a big way! According to the RSA and MIT licences included, it's available for any non-commercial use. Looks like I'll start using PGP in earnest. Has anyone any advice on how to get my public key 'trusted', since I don't know anyone else who already has a trusted key? Similarly, how do I know when to trust keys I receive, given that I have no keys yet that I 'trust'? Cheers, -- Howard Winter hdrw () ibmpcug Co UK CIS: 100111,1420 0W21' 51N43'
