Please keep in mind that PGP also includes SDA's (Self Decrypting Archives).
This would allow you to provide a solution that encrypts and compresses the
data and can then be placed on CD.  When your customer wants to view the
data, they only need to know the shared passphrase. No client software is
required.

        It was my understanding that SDAs would decrypt the data onto an
available disk.  However, if 'TEMPEST protection' was enabled it would
not.
