Yes, that's the point. While I agree with Robert and you that revocation certs are smaller and therefore easier to OCR than keys, they would be *even easier* to OCR if they were encoded in Base16 and had per-line checksums. ASCII armor has a few characters which are somewhat hard to tell apart (orimarily 0s and Os - note to myself: find a better font) and if such 'entropy' can be avoided this increases reliability of the import. cu, Sven _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
