This is version 2.6 of pgp (but _NOT_ the MIT-version). This is the version for use outside the USA. I have included part of a posting by Mike Johnson on alt.security.pgp, so that you can see if this really is the version you want. In this directory you will also find the version 2.6mit (for use in the USA). I have applied the following patches to the original distribution: -In pgp26ui/src I have removed all carriage returns from the *.c and *.h files in order to compile this beast on a NeXT (I've only changed these sources -- but there are still carriage returns all over the place; but it also works with the old set of configuration files, e.g. from pgp2.3a). -I've copied the makefile.unx to Makefile and optimized the linker call for the NeXT-supplied compiler (by adding "-object -s" to the LDFLAGS). So don't let the file dates bother you. You can check the files with md5sum (as supplied in contrib/md5sum) against the file pgp26ui.md5 -- don't forget to strip of pgp26ui.md5 of the carriage returns as well (e.g. by running "tr -d "\015" <pgp26ui.md5 >newfile"). I didn't want to mess with this file since nobody would have believed me afterwards, would you? I only wonder how the checksum could ever have been correct with all those carriage returns...? >WHERE TO GET THE PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY PROGRAM (PGP) >(Last modified: 13 June 1994 by Mike Johnson) > > >WHAT IS THE LATEST VERSION? > >Platforms | Released | Version | Notes & restrictions > | by and for | | Other restrictions may apply. >- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] (infos about a commercial release deleted) >- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Dos, Unix, | MIT | 2.6 | Uses RSAREF.
