Fixed.

    while (argc--) {
        print_file_status(STATUS_FILE_START, *argv, 2);
        if ( (rc = encode_crypt(*argv, remusr)) )
            log_error("%s: encryption failed: %s\n", print_fname_stdin(*argv),
                                                        g10_errstr(rc) );
        write_status( STATUS_FILE_DONE );
        argv++;
    }

i.e. you pass a list of filenames which will all be encrypted one
after the other and status message can be used to keep track of this.


Thanks,
