NODE 4015bacaPGP Question danisch@ira.uka.de (Hadmut Danisch)Wed, 1 Feb 95 05:56:14 PST

Is there any simple way to glue a binary file and its detached pgp
signature together into a single pgp file (as produced by non-detached
signing) ?

thanks

Uhh, this would sort of defeat the purpose of a detached signature; in
which case why not use the regular signature??  Alternatively, you
could use MIME multiparts to encode the binary file (in one part) and
the signature (in another part) in a single message.  Is this what
you want???
