- To add my own two problems:
- 1) The OS/2 port refuses to accept input from stdin, for stuff like "Y/N"
- prompts this would be nice for those of us developing shells. (I have my
- suspicions why direct keyboard input is required to create the random seed(s),
- but for ordinary input this shouldn't be necessary.)
-
- 2) Output to a pipe does not work - PGP tries to rename the "file" it finds,
- when it cannot, it prompts for a new filename. (Simply allowing an overwrite
- option should work wonderfully... preferably as a default or a command line
- parameter.)
