FAQ: How come you don't encrypt my Nym passwords (etc) in the INI file? If your PC isn't in a secure environment, go for Settings, Global Password. This will protect the whole INI file with PGP! 2 March 1996

"Cannot find either c:\pgp\\pgp.exe ...". Note the double "\". This may be because you have SET PGPPATH=c:\PGP\ in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The PGP documentation reccomends SET c:\PGP (ie, no trailing "\"). It seems that PGP can tolerate the extra "\" but John Doe picks it up as an error. What to do: Edit your \AUTOEXEC,BAT file and remove the trailing "\" from the SET PGPPATH item. Also, make sure that there are no spaces on this line. You have to reboot your computer for this to take effect.
