What are CEDPGPScripts ?
========================
With these scripts you can crypt/decrypt PGP messages when using the
CygnusED (hereafter CED) with Offline 1.32-> or with THOR. It's
possible to crypt a not crypted message when you leave CED, and it's
possible to leave CED without or with crypting the reply to a crypted
message. And you may chose whether you want a message to be crypted
before it is given to the mailreader/BBS.
Needed to use the CEDScripts:
=============================
- Pretty Good Privacy V2.3a (PGP) for the Amiga installed correctly.
(The $PGPPATH and $TZ variables must be set!)
- Offline V1.32 -> or THOR 1.0 ->.
- CygnusED.
- Amigados V2.04 or higher.
- The grep command in the path.
- The ESR command in the path.
Installing:
===========
Put the CEDPGP script in Offline's root dir, or if you use THOR, put
it in BBSDATA:. Check that both the executable and script flags are
set. To be sure use "protect +srwed CEDPGP". Put grep, ESR and
QuoteMsg in the mail readers root dir or some place else in the path
f.ex. c:. If you have THOR installed - put AddSig in the THOR:bin
directory, if you havn't and you only use Offline, just delete it.
With THOR you select global config and then general options. Select
"External Editor". If the Ed replacement that comes with CED is placed
in the c: dir and called it "CED.start", put the following line in the
External Editor text gad:
BBSDATA:CEDPGP c:CED.start
With Offline you select editor from the setup menu. Then deselect
"Internal Editor". If the Ed replacement that comes with CED is placed
in the c: dir and called "CED.start" and the CEDPGP script is placed in
the "Work:Offline" dir, put the following line in the Editor text gad:
Work:Offline/CEDPGP c:CED.start
How do these scripts work?
==========================
If you reply a message crypted with PGP, a requester will pop up
asking you for your PGP password. (The password is saved in the
$PGPPASS variabel until a reset.) When the message in decrypted, which
may take some time, it'll apper inn CED. When you exit CED, a requester
will pop up, asking you who you want to crypt the reply for. Here you
type the PGP-userid of the user you want to crypt the reply for. (This
information will not be saved.)
If you don't want to crypt the reply to a PGP message when you exit
CED just insert a line with exactly:
-=-=-=-=-=-DO NOT PGPCRYPT!-=-=-=-=-=-
in the reply. This line will be removed and the reply will not be
crypted.
If you want to crypt a reply to a not crypted message when you leave
CED, or you want to enter a crypted message to someone, just insert
a line with exactly:
-=-=-=-=-=- PGPCRYPT! -=-=-=-=-=-
in the reply/message. This line will also be removed and the
reply/message will be crypted. It may be a good idea to make two macros
in CED which insert these lines.
Warning!
========
If you crypt a reply or a message to someone, it is _not_ possible to
decrypt it without the receiver's PGP key and password. Therefore, if
you want to edit something in the reply or message before you send it,
use the macrokey function to prevent crypting. When the reply is
finnished just use the crypt macrokey before exiting CED. If you try to
edit a reply you have crypted for someone, you will get the crypted
reply in CED.
Last Warning!
=============
If you type an invalid password or a nonexsisting PGPuserid , it'll
may cause a hang or a software failure (guru). Therefore - dobbelcheck
what you type!!
Known Problems:
===============
For some strange reason won't the ESR requesters apper on the THOR
screen. They always apper on the WB screen. This works fine with the
FSE scripts so it should be possible to make "workaround-patch" for
this, but it would be a hack and then it may not be system friendly.
Version changes:
================
0.9 -> 1.0 : - Converted the FSEPGP scripts to work as one script with
CED.
