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. G
