  <DIV>Hi.&nbsp; I know this is a little off topic, but I'd really appreciate 
  some feedback.</DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV>I am currently running Windoze 98 on my laptop (no disk space for a dual 
  boot etc.). I would like to encrypt some of my email.&nbsp; I tried pgp, but 
  it seems to be managed by a large corporation and I don't know if I should 
  trust it.&nbsp; Then, I downloaded gpg which I think I can trust, but it runs 
  in a DOS window and I'm not really sure how to use it.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 40 page 
  manual really doesn't address DOS or Windoze at all.&nbsp; Given the 
  awkwardness, I'm not sure I could convince any of my intended recipients to 
  use it.</DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV>Have any of you dealt with this or have any ideas (other than scrap 
  Windoze and just use Linux)?&nbsp; Thanks.</DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV>Joe</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
