doubts in GPGME

[Thanga Prakash S]

Dear Sir,
	thanks for response..

I gone through doc/ directory and info files also..(still browsing thro)

The name of the recipients is used to identify the key using its real name..
Is it correct? or Is there any other relation between recipients and key?

I have doubt, why the test programs are created as wrapper scripts instead of binary files directly? (binary files are stored in .libs directory)

When the test programs are compiled, the compilation generates some test keys which are stored in the current directory. But when the test codes are executed,
the program refers to the keys in the home directory (~USER/.gnupg/). Then i changed value of GNUPGHOME to the current directory..

As part of API, Is there any way to specify directory through API itself?

How do i get to know the latest features/updation in GPGME?

If there is any mistakes/wrong info then please forgive me and
	 update me regarding the same...

Thanking you,

regards,
stp
