Amazing, isn't it?  I like to think that is the power of
Warp City but I suppose our detractors would say
the openpgp.net server was just unavailable.

In a similar vein, has anybody seen a port of gpg (GNU Privacy 
Guard) for OS/2 yet?  The gnupg.org site only show linux and 
Win32 (alpha-level) ports.

Subj: slrnpull and multiple servers

From: thomas@billert.de (Thomas Billert)

Hi all,

can anyone tell me how to teach slrnpull to handle multiple servers
correctly? I have just successfully setup slrnpull tp get news from the
main server (which requires authentication), but I'm not able to add an
additional server. I simply added the newsgroups of the 2nd server to
my slrnpull.conf file and created a new program object for slrnpull
with a different -h <newsserver> parameter. But slrnpull tries to login
to the 2nd server with the username/password from the authinfo file
just as it is requied when fetching news from the 1st server, and
this fails. I guess it isn't possible at all after reading the slrnpull
docs, but then again I find it overkill to install changi on my
laptop...

Thanks for your hints,

best regards, Billy.

I have an OS/2 port of GPG. I can't remember where I got it from. It
is v0.91 level code (sources and binaries) ~1.7Meg

I use 2 servers as well. One for posting and one for retrieving articles,
  so I just wrote a small script an it works without problems:

post.cmd:
ren userdata.cis.dfn authinfo
SLRNPULL.EXE -d E:\slrnpull -h news.cis.dfn.de --post-only
ren authinfo userdata.cis.dfn

Subj: PGP and Pine 

From: Yelmow@together.net (Mark Tucker)

I was wondering if there were any "hooks" to get pgp working in pine. 
I know that there is a package under unix/linux that will do this.  Is
there something for OS/2 that will do the job?  I'm using pgp 2.6.3 and
Pine 4.21.

Thanks.

I see we use the same server :-)

Thanks, that's a good idea. Since I want to use both servers for fetching
and for posting, I guess I should write a script that uses multiple
slrnpull.conf files which are copied around when needed. So I also
could avoid slrnpull trying to retrieve groups from servers that don't
have these groups at all.

Thanks again,

best regards, Billy.

It's actually called "build ia119" (in Help - Product Information). 
Buddy Donnelly kindly made it available to me by email and I'd be

Have you found any differences compared with your previous
version?
BTW. I don't know which version I have, Product Information
simply states Build v1.50?1.
The dates of the main files in my pn2_15b1.zip are 8-May-1998.

Actually, I just installed it before posting my reply. It feels a bit 
snappier in retrieving headers but it's subjective and a bit to early 
to say.

Strangely enough, the headers in my previous post still said beta 1. 
The executable of build ia119 has a date stamp of 4-Jun-1998.
