No one was *demanding* anything. I was only responding to Tony's
remarks regarding the options left to a Lady that was wanting to run
GnuPG on a Win2K Machine:

Similar to your response that I should start writing code, it seems
absurd to suggest to new Users that they write their own code if they
are wanting to try GnuPG, but are running into OS specific problems. We
are not Programmers... we are Users wanting to try and use GnuPG, and I
would think you and the others would want to do everything possible to
see that effort become successful. 

You talk about *attitude* Dale? This kind of attitude... that Windows
Users be left to their own avail if they run into problems... seems to
be prevalent on this List, and most especially from Linux Users. GPG
will never become a replacement for PGP unless the GnuPG Development
Team exacts just as much effort on a Windows version as it does a Linux
version.

I don't mean any disrespect to Werner and his Staff, but I have quite a
few Members of my PGP-Basics List that are teetering on trying GnuPG,
but responses like "write your own code" will most definitely turn them
away from GnuPG.
