- I tried compiling pgp20 today - found one major problem: it uses toupper
- and tolower but doesn't check their args are in range first with isalpha
- and islower/isupper. Actually I was amazed that gcc on 386bsd supported
- that bogus old definition of toupper/tolower, but I guess there's a
- reason for it somewhere.
-
- Anyway, after that I was able to read the config file, and decode command-line
- options OK. But I still can't encrypt anything. Following the instructions
- to the letter, and doing all the tests, it seems not to find my encoding
- key in my keyring.
-
- If anyone has ported pgp20 please give me some hints! And if you think it's
- possible that what I've compiled *is* working, but it's common to misunderstand
- the instructions... tell me that too. I'm baffled at this stage.
-
- Thanks.
