- sorry if this has already been posted...
- For those of you who DON'T have PGP2.1 yet:
- This info is from the PGP2.1 documentation (except for the garbo
- site info... and I have no idea if PGP2.1 has made it to the
- garbo mirror sites.)
-
- There are two compressed archive files in the PGP 2.1 MSDOS release.
- You must get pgp21.zip which contains the MSDOS binary executable and
- the PGP User's Guide, and you can optionally get pgp21src.zip which
- contains the source files. These files can be decompressed with the

-
- A reminder: Set mode to binary or image when doing an FTP transfer.
- Here are a few Internet sites that have PGP via anonymous FTP:
-
- Finland: nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100)
- Directory: /pub/unix/security/crypt/
-
- Italy: ghost.dsi.unimi.it (149.132.2.1)
- Directory: /pub/security/
-
- USA: pencil.cs.missouri.edu (128.206.100.207)
- Directory: /pub/crypt/
-
- For those lacking FTP connectivity to the net, nic.funet.fi also
- offers the files via email. Send the following mail message to
- mailserv@nic.funet.fi:
-
- ENCODER uuencode
- SEND pub/unix/security/crypt/pgp21src.zip
- SEND pub/unix/security/crypt/pgp21.zip
-
- This will deposit the two zipfiles, as (about) 15 batched messages in
- your mailbox within about 24 hours. Save and uudecode.
-
- Another site for ftp-by-mail for PGP is:
- mailserv@garbo.uwasa.fi!mailserv
-
- SEND
- pc/fileutil/pgp21.zip
-
- In the US, PGP may be found on God knows how many BBS systems, far
- too many to list here. Still, if you don't have any local BBS phone
- numbers handy, here are some BBS's you might try.
