- PGPClip 1.3 by Michael Meyer
- ============================
-
- Disclaimer:
- ===========
- This program is free. Use at your own risk.
-
- PGPClip is a simple front end to PGP which uses the clipboard for its
- operations.
-
- It is not a full blown replacement for many of the other Windows based
- front ends for PGP, but one which allows quick encryption, decryption,
- and signing using the clipboard.
-
-
- Example usage:
- ==============
-
- Mail Signing:
- -------------
- Type your mail message in Eudora or other Windows based program, from
- that program's menu choose "Edit|Select All", then "Edit Cut". This
- will cut your text to the clipboard.
-
- Then activate PGPClip, check the "Sign" checkbox, then click the
- Encrypt/Sign button to sign the message. PGP will appear in a DOS box,
- enter your pass phrase, switch back to your mail package then choose
- "Edit|Paste", voila, your signed message will appear.
-
-
- Other:
- ------
- Check the "Encrypt" checkbox to encrypt your message.
-
- Check both to encrypt and sign.
-
-
- Check Show Names to show the list of keys, click on a key to toggle its
- selection. If not keys are selected, PGP will prompt you for recipients.
-
-
- Notes:
- ------
- Your _default.pif should be configured to have the the following
- options:
-
-
- Display Usage: ( ) Full Screen
- (O) Windowed
-
- [X] Close Window on Exit
-
- If you select too many keys, the command line could exceed 127
- characters, causing a VB error when you try to Encrypt. Reduce the
- number of recipients.
-
- PGPClip is written in Visual Basic 3.0 and requires VBRUN300.DLL,
- GRID.VBX, and THREED.VBX. These are available elsewhere. Send me mail
- if you require these. They are in 7 files about 60K each uuencoded.
-
-
- If you should get out of string space errors, try to reduce the amount
- of text you are encrypting/signing. You have run into a VB String
- limit. This limit is near 64K.
-
-
- Please mail comments or suggestions.
-
-
