PGP WinFront 3.0 Readme File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	This file contains three sections:

		MISC
		NEW FEATURES NOT IN HELPFILE
		LAST MINUTE NEWS


MISC
~~~~

- - Revision Number

	The revision number of PGP WinFront in this package is: 0 
	[initial release]

- - Assumptions

	All the documentation assumes that:
		- You have the PGPATH environmental variable set
		- PGP.EXE is in your path
		- You use the supplied PIF files
		- You are aware of the differences between
		  PGP 2.3a and MIT PGP 2.6
		- You are aware of the fact that that PGP WinFront
		  has SOME features which can only be used with versions of
		  PGP that conform to the MIT PGP 2.6 feature set.
		- You are aware of the fact that PGP WinFront does not do
		  any PGP.EXE version checking, with the exception of 
		  reading in the PGP Public Keyring. This is because 2.3 and
		  2.6 display different keyring information.

- - My Public Key 

	You can get my public key by sending email to me at
	rbarclay@trentu.ca. Your subject MUST READ:

		GET KEY

	You should get the key within minutes of placing your
	request.

- - Security

	PGP WinFront is distributed in a zip file called PWF30.ZIP.

	Inside this zip file is another ZIP file, called PWF.ZIP, and
	the signature file for PWF.ZIP called PWF.SIG.

	After you run setup, another signature file will be
	decompressed. This file is called PWF30.SIG and it is the
	signature for the decompressed file PWF30.EXE

- - Installation
	
	To install PGP WinFront, run setup.exe. YOU NEED VBRUN300.DLL!

	Please don't email me asking for VBRUN300.DLL. Its on virtually 
	every major FTP site. On FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU it SHOULD be in 
	\pub\pc\win3\utils as VBRUN300.ZIP. Also, you can use archie 
	or veronica to locate it.

NEW FEATURES NOT IN HELP FILE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- -       Encrypt To Self

	With this option selected, PWF will automatically encrypt 
	everything with your public key as well.

- -       Use MIT PGP 2.6 Legal Kludge

	With this option selected, MIT PGP 2.6 will continue to generate 2.3 
	compatible files after September 1st, 1994

- -       KeyRing View Moves Windows

	With this option selected, PWF will readjust your screen to fit the 
	main PWF window side-by-side with the keyring window.

- -       Secret KeyRing Location

	If your secret keyring is located anywhere but the default location
	(where PGP is kept), for example on a floppy disk, you can take 
	advantage of this feature. Click in the Sec. Keyring Loc. Box and 
	locate your secret key ring. TO CLEAR THIS BOX: click in it with 
	the RIGHT mouse button. You will then see "<default>" in that box. 
	This means that PGP will use the default secring.pgp file.

	This feature uses the "+secring=" command line paramter. 
	This command line parameter may not be available in PGP 2.3, in
	which case this PGP WinFront feature will not be available.

- -       Public Keyring Location

	You can also specify an alternate Public KeyRing Location.
	This keyring will be used by PGP and also will be the keyring
	read in when you click "KeyRing".

	This feature uses the "+pubring=" command line paramter. 
	This command line parameter may not be available in PGP 2.3, in
	which case this PGP WinFront feature will not be available.

- -       Alternate Public Keyring

	It is possible for you to set up what is known as an "alternate
	public keyring." It is expected that this keyring will be used
	only sparingly, and will probably be very large, for example, the
	master public keyring available on many FTP sites. These large
	keyrings are handy to have, but they slow down PGP most of
	the time because of their large size.

	In any event, when you press "Keyring", you will notice just 
	above the "Refresh Keyring" button that there is a section with
	a check box and a text box. When you click in the text box, you
	will be asked to select an alternate keyring. PWF will then read 
	the contents of that keyring in. When you click the check box 
	"Use Alternate Pub. Keyring", PWF will switch its key list over
	to the alternate keyring. From then on, every action in the
	keyring viewer or on the main screen, ie: encrypt, key view, 
	etc... will use the alternate keyring. 

	To remind you of this, the text right above the parameter edit 
	box will change to say "Parameter Edit Box : [Using Alternate
	Public Keyring]" when the alternate keyring is active.

	To return to using your default keyring, simply deselect the
	"Use Alternate Pub. Keyring" check box.

	The name of your alternate keyring will be saved from session to
	session, however, the "Use Alternate Pub. Keyring" setting will
	not be. This is because it is assumed that users will generally
	want to use their default public keyring most of the time.

	This feature uses the "+pubring=" command line paramter. 
	This command line parameter may not be available in PGP 2.3, in
	which case this PGP WinFront feature will not be available.

LAST MINUTE NEWS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- -       When you select input from clipboard, the input file will ALWAYS be 
	wiped, and the clipboard will be cleared only if you have chosen
	"Wipe Input File"

- -       If you repeatedly get an "Error creating Keyring" message,
	ensure that your PGPPATH variable is correct and that PGP is
	in your path. The PGPPATH setting is only the PATH to PGP, NOT
	the PATH and EXE name of PGP. 

- -       If your machine locks up after you exit your editor after choosing
	"Create", try using a different editor. Some users have had problems
	with DeskEdit, but not with Notepad, for example. If that still 
	doesn't work, send me email and TURN OFF the "Highlight PGP Created 
	Files" Option.

- -       If you find a bug, let me know!!! 

- -       I'd really like to hear your comments! I sometimes cannot answer my 
	mail every day (or every week), but I WILL respond.

- -       Read the help file completely! I like to answer questions from users 
	but please look for the answer in the help file! If some section 
	is not clear, please email me and I'll fix it in the next version.

- -       Please upload this program to your favourite FTP site or BBS!
	Compuserve, AOL, Genie and Prodigy users: Please upload this
	program yo your service as I don't have any accounts there. Users
	of all these services have access to Internet email so they can
	all email me for assistance if they need it.

- -       Last but not least -- I'd like to extend a very warm thanks to all 
	the beta testers who gave me feedback during the test session (you 
	know who you are!). Their help was absolutely invaluable, but any
	remaining bugs (hopefully very few) are of course my own 
	responsibility.
