RE: [MI400] MI program for PGP

["Harry Williams" <planesmart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes we try things to see if we can do them. But then again, C is
suppose to be about as fast or faster than MI now. C should be able to port
a lot easier. I was just looking for a challenge that I could use when I am
finished.  I was more curious why the government was after the inventor. 

I have played with some of the other encryptions, so I thought I would try
it. I had been using it under PASE.  Here, we have more time, than money to
try things.

Harry, 

A port to MI sounds difficult. 

If your primary interest is using PGP on iSeries (and not the intellectual 
challenge of writing in MI), there is a commercial PGP encryption product 
by Patrick Townsend and Associates that Don mentioned.  See 
http://www.patownsend.com/PGPencryption.htm for more information. 

There are also freeware versions of PGP available.  The AIX binary 
available at   
http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/versions/freeware/unix/6.5.8/ can be 
copied to your IFS and invoked using QSH.
