Jens has managed to get PGP to run on the HP3000.
There may some licensing issues, and I think it's the version that can't
be used in the USA (for some crazy reason), but I suggest you e-mail him
direct at [log in to unmask]

Regards

Neil

Here's a short summary of commands in PGP 2.6.3i:

Generate new key pair:  pgp -kg    [keybits]
Add key:                pgp -ka     keyfile           [keyring]
Extract key:            pgp -kx[a]  userid   keyfile  [keyring]
View key(s):            pgp -kv[v] [userid]           [keyring]
View fingerprint:       pgp -kvc   [userid]           [keyring]
Check & view in detail: pgp -kc    [userid]           [keyring]
Remove userid or key:   pgp -kr     userid            [keyring]
                        (Repeat for multiple userids on a key)
Edit trust params:      pgp -ke     userid            [keyring]
Add another userid:     pgp -ke     your_userid       [keyring]
Edit passphrase:        pgp -ke     your_userid       [keyring]
Sign a key in pubring:  pgp -ks other_id [-u sign_id] [keyring]
Remove a sig from key:  pgp -krs    userid            [keyring]
Revoke, dis/enable:     pgp -kd     userid            [keyring]

Encrypt:                pgp -e[a]  textfile TO_id [TO_id2 TO_id3...]
Sign:                   pgp -s[a]  textfile                         [-u
MY_id]
Sign & encrypt:         pgp -se[a] textfile TO_id [TO_id2 TO_id3...][-u
MY_id]
Make detached cert:     pgp -sb[a] [+clearsig=on] mainfile          [-u
MY_id]
  (Can do binaries)     (clearsig=on may be set in CONFIG.TXT)
Encrypt with IDEA only: pgp -c     textfile
Decrypt or check sig:   pgp [-d] [-p] cryptogram

                        (-d to keep pgp data, -p for original file name)

Check detached cert:    pgp certfile [mainfile]

                        (If root of filenames are the same omit
[mainfile])


Use [a] for ASCII output

Use [-o outfile] to specify an output file

Use [-@ textfile] to specify additional userids when encrypting

Use [-z"pass phrase"] to specify your pass phrase

Use [+batchmode] for errorlevel returns

Use [f] for stream redirection ( pgp -f[ARGS] <infile >outfile )

Use [w] to wipe plaintext file (encryption operations)

Use [m] to force display of plaintext only (no output file)

Use [t] to alter line endings for unix, etc.
