=>What is a good way to write a C++ app to decrypt multiple
=>large PGP-encrypted files simultaneously into memory?  I cannot have
=>the plaintext output in a file on disk at any time.  Preferably, one block
=>of data from the file will be decrypted at a time.  Therefore, the entire
=>file or files will not need to reside in memory.

=>Thanks,

Hi Beth, I don't have the answer to your question, but I will say that you 
need to tighten up on your specs: If your program is running under a 
virtual memory model and you don't want your data to end up on disk then 
you will have to do something with a large hammer to lock pages of memory, 
or something along that line.
