- PGP 2.6.3i for OS/2 availability
-
- [PGP 2.6.3i is a version derived from PGP 2.6.2, but without using
- RSAREF, with the goal of making PGP 2.6.2 available to non-US users.]
-
- The OS/2 version of PGP 2.6.3i is available from
-
- ftp.leo.org
- /pub/comp/os/os2/crypt/pgp263i-os2.zip (executables)
- /pub/comp/os/os2/crypt/pgp263i-src.zip (source code)
-
- The executables archive contains a 32-bit (OS/2 2.x) executable, no
- 16-bit OS/2 1.x executable.
-
- PGP is a free public key encryption program for personal use, the three
- letters stand for "pretty good privacy". See discussions in sci.crypt
- or alt.security.pgp for details or read the docs included with the
- program. In the alt.security.pgp news group, a FAQ is posted
- periodically which contains a lot of useful information about PGP.
-
- I should also have mentioned, that people should not upload the program
- and/or the source code to any archive in the US that is accessible from
- outside the US. While PGP 2.6.3i was written outside the US and can be
- imported into the US by individuals using it, it may not be re-exported
- from the US (silly regulations). If you put it onto an FTP site or BBS
- where non-US users may download it, you can cause the archive
- owner/maintainer a lot of trouble.
-
- PGP 2.6.3i (source code, DOS executable) is available from several
- european (I don't know about other, such as australian) ftp sites.
- Other european sites that carry OS/2 software (there are quite a few in
- Germany alone) are encouraged to mirror PGP for OS/2 from the above
- site. A well-sorted PGP-related FTP archive can be found at
- ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de, under /pub/virus/crypt/pgp.
-
- For questions related to PGP 2.6.3i generally, please contact its
- maintainer, Stale Schumacher <staalesc@ifi.uio.no>.
