PGP55cd.dll readme

The two files in this archive should give several improvments to the
PGP 5.5.x decrypt dialog.

The following modifications will do three main things:

1)  Create a three-column List Control display that will show the
     full user ID in the first column, the key size in the second,
     and the key ID in the third.

2)  Display the key ID of any unknown private keys.  The user ID
    will be reported as "Unknown Private Key" and the size will be
    reported as "???"

3)  Place a keypair icon to the left of the user ID.  This will
    show whether the key is RSA or DH and whether it's active,
    expired, revoked, or not on your secring file.  Unknown keys
    will display a question mark icon.


Unzip the archive and select either

BS_PGP55cd.dll for Business Security versions
PP_PGP55cd.dll for Personal Privacy versions

You will need to rename the file for your version to PGP55cd.dll

Rename your original PGP55cd.dll in the windows/system folder to
PGP55cd.bak and replace with the appropriate file from the archive.


*note The Personal Privacy version is untested as yet - but the
Business version works and I have no reason to believe that you
should experince any problmes.

I hope you'll find this useful - it saves downloading a complete
package for these modifications.  I am not the author of the code
-- all I did was compile them.
