Thank you for the above information. It's true that version 2.6.3 is a "pure" DOS version and doesn't have a GUI. Therefore, your comment about a Key Manager does make sense to me. I think the best solution for me, if I insist on using 2.6.3 RSA keys, would be to transfer these to my 6.5.8 version's keyring, where they can happily reside along with any DH/DSS keys and I'll use that interface which as I found out works nicely with TB. -- Best regards, Costas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
