Quite, but later versions of gnupg, as far as I have read, are not compatible with OS X 10.3.9. See MacGPG's web site <http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/>, where different versions of GnuPG are posted for OS 10.1.x, 10.2.x, 10.3.x, and now 10.4.x. Apparently the "last" GnuPG version for 10.3.9 is 1.4.1.

I also have a G3 iMac, running 10.3.9, works fine. I have even a venerable 1998 vintage Wallstreet, where I succeeded to install Panther, but that was a long time ago. > > Myself I tend to compile gnupg anyway, which IIRC never was much of a > problem on 10.3.9 anyway.

I don't have the knowledge, I follow the instructions set in MacGPG's web site. If or when something goes wrong, I ask questions, get answers (most of the time), and try to remedy. Call that confidence? I don't know. I only know it has worked till now, including GnuPG 2.0.2 Charly _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
