How hard is it to use that code independent of GnuPG? I want to write a small application to encrypt and/or decrypt using RSA and Blowfish (for example), but it has to be self-contained and not rely on using the GnuPG binary. I hear that GnuPG is being split into a library amd a front-end, but that seems to be some time off... 2 Regards, /|/| / |
