        Thank you, Werner,
        
        I'll try Vsta and QNX (downloaded it yesterday) and see if I
        get it done.  It's time to change to *nix, anyway.
        
        Your help will be appreciated!

|      Well, this is the W32 port which does mean it runs on Windows 95
|      kind of OSes but not on plain (Free|PC|MS|DR)DOS.  There might be a
|      port to plain DOS availabe but I don't recommend it.
|      
|      Try to use a one floppy GNU/Linux distribution (I know that this
|      will be hard) or use another POSIX like kernel to port GnuPG.  I can
|      help you if you decide to work on a small VSTa (http://www.vsta.org)
|      based
|      GnuPG floppy.
|      
|      I have also plans to create a bootable CDROM.
