WHAT'S IN THIS FILE Functionality Overview Enhancements and Fixes in this Release Documentation System Requirements Installation Known Issues Year 2000 Compliance Contacting Network Associates FUNCTIONALITY OVERVIEW PGP Command Line provides a convenient way for you to integrate PGP's strong authentication and encryption features with other applications and automated processes. Examples include encrypting credit card transactions, personnel records, etc. The following commands provide on-line help for each of the major product areas: To display all of the encryption/decryption options: `pgp -h` To display all of the key management options: `pgp -k` To display all of the group management options: `pgp -g` ENHANCEMENTS AND FIXES IN THIS RELEASE This version of PGP Command Line adds support for the new Intel Random Number Generator (RNG) feature (available in some new Pentium(R) III chipsets, including the Intel 810 chipset). If your computer is equipped with the Intel RNG, PGP will use the random data generated by the chip in addition to our own entropy collection whenever random data is needed for key generation and encryption. The PGP Command Line now supports Additional Decryption Keys (ADKs). See the User's Guide for a full description of this feature. The `+force` argument now causes a key to be deleted without prompting (when used in conjunction with the `-kr` argument). The help displayed when a `pgp -h` is done is retrieved from a file called `pgp_help.txt` instead of `pgp.hlp`. This is to avoid a naming conflict with the Windows help file shipped with the PGP client product. When a KeyID is passed in for a key signing operation, the primary UserID for that key is now correctly signed and no error message is displayed. If the default KeyID is not valid, the last valid key added to the keyring is used as the default key. You will now receive an error message rather than a passphrase prompt when you decrypt a message that was encrypted to a keypair for which you only have the public key. The number of keys added to a keyring is now accurately counted. You are no longer prompted for confirmation when you attempt to add to the keyring a key that is identical to an existing key. The filename you specify to use when checking the detached signature of a file is no longer ignored.
