Hello!  This README file should provide you with a brief introduction
to using PGP with Zephyr.

To get started, you should be familiar with both PGP and Zephyr.  If
you are not familiar with PGP, please read /mit/pgp/doc/pgpdoc1.txt,
which should provide you with the minimum knowledge you should have
before using PGP.  Then please read the comments at the top of the
file zephyr-pgp in this directory, which should provide you with
sufficient knowledge to use PGP with Zephyr.

You will need to do two things before using PGP with Zephyr on a
regular basis.  First place "add pgpdev" in your ~/.environment file
(or do something equivalent to this).  Second, insert the entire
contents of the file zephyr-pgp into your ~/.zwgc.desc file.  Please
keep the comments of this file for your own reference and in case
other people copy your ~/.zwgc.desc file.  The next time you login,
you will have everything set up for regular use of Zephyr PGP.

Before you can receive PGP-encrypted zephyrgrams, you will need to
tell your zwgc process (Zephyr) your passphrase so that it can
automatically decrypt the messages for you.  Simply run "sendpass" and
enter your passphrase at its prompt.  You will need to do this every
time you start zwgc (ie, every time you login).

You will also need to create public and private PGP keys for use with
Zephyr, and share the public key with your friends.  See the comments
in zephyr-pgp and in /mit/pgp/doc/pgpdoc1.txt for more information on
how to do this.

To send a PGP-encrypted zephyrgram, use the program prite (private
zwrite).  See the comments in zephyr-pgp or enter "prite -help" for
more information on how to do this.  This command is similar to the
regular zwrite command, and takes all the normal zwrite options.
However, prite must be given the key id of the user or class you
intend to send a message to.
