NODE 850db200Encryption for OS/2
PMARKS@VAX1.UMKC.EDUSat, 23 Apr 94 09:15:06 PDT
I would like to hear from CP's who have implemented PGP on OS/2. I'm a
little concerned that I can only encrypt FAT files when the bulk of my
data are on HPFS formatted drives. Is there a group out there?
Second item. I have some comments on Communications Security (COMSEC)
I would like to make but I think I'd better post anonymously. Could
someone point me to a suitable forwarder?
Thanks.

Although I have not implemented PGP on my OS/2 drive yet, I don't see
it as a problem. I run many DOS/FAT apps on my system that work well
under HPFS. After all, you are just issuing a file open command, and
then a series of reads, nothing the system can't handle.
The only place I see a problem is with file names. If you haven't
modified the source, and compiled it will a decent OS/2 compiler, then it
will only work with 8.3 names.
Good luck. Let me know if you have any problems. In the mean time,
I'll be installing it here.
