Hello everyone,

I recently downloaded gnupg via link from www.pgpi.org.
I ended up with v1.2.2

As soon as I checked the gnupg.org site I realised a newer
version was available and installed that. 

It seems to work except that when I do "gpg --version" I 
get an error message above the version info relating to 
a file called "iconv.dll" which is not mentioned anywhere
on the site that I can find, nor is it one of the files in
the distribution.

Do I need this file to run gnupg on WinXP? 
AS you can see from the signature, I'm going to continue using
v 1.2.2 for now. Will this leave me open to any attacks or bugs?


Thanks for your time,

bludnok
