Me. I would like to sign and then verify nightly nine million documents. That wont work with an API that execs the gpg command line. I also imagine that execing a command line utility is not nearly as robust or secure as calling the API. There are all those temporary files that have to be cleaned up etc. Mikal -- Michael Still (mikal@stillhq.com) - Panda PDF Generation Library (http://www.stillhq.com/panda/) - GPG Public Key at http://www.stillhq.com/mikal.asc
