Of course, this is close to CipherSaber, but what I meant is a complete
system, so that the module, component, or, as mathematicians call it, the
function, could be built and debugged in a week. Perhaps PGP can be, but
to me it always looked heavy and difficult to grasp. Likely it performs
some functions which require some weight. It is a separate question as to
why PGP is not simply integrated properly into every copy of Pine and
every copy of, what are the W9* and Mac equivalents?
