        Anyone wishing to send me updated versions of archivers or email
may use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) v2.6 or above to encrypt the info.
Listed below is my PGP public key which you can use to encrypt a binary
file or ascii file into RADIX-64 ascii format.  After you have encrypted
the file, you can then send it to me via email at my Internet address
listed below.  When you use my public key to encrypt something with PGP,
only I can decrypt the file so you can be certain that whatever you send
will only be seen by me.

        If you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to
send me some EMAIL and I will try and reply as soon as I can.

INTERNET:  jeffg@mi.net     <--- # Please note the NEW email address #
                                 The PGP key above has also been updated
                                 to reflect my new email address.

*** INFORMATION REQUESTED ***
If anyone knows the encryption methods that are (???) unknown in
the archiver Option List, please email and let me know.  Thanks!

** NEXT MONTH **
I will probably be changing the .BMP test from an 8 bit Cartoon BMP to
a 24 bit picture BMP.  Since most people deal with graphical pictures
this should give a better representation of which archiver is the
best for the job.
