    NEW FEATURES IN 6.5.1
    
    PGPnet. PGPnet is a landmark product in the history of PGP. PGPnet secures
    all TCP/IP communications between itself and any other machine running
    PGPnet. PGPnet has been successfully tested with Cisco routers(requires
    Cisco IOS 12.0(4) or later with IPSec TripleDES), Linux FreeS/WAN, and many
    others.
    
    Self-Decrypting Archives. You may now encrypt files or folders into
    Self-Decrypting Archives (SDA) which can be used by users who do not even
    have PGP. The archives are completely independent of any application,
    compressed and protected by PGP's strong cryptography.
    
    Integrated PGP Command Line. This version incorporates the popular command
    line version of PGP for Windows platforms. This product provides you a
    convenient way to integrate PGP with other Windows applications and
    automated processes on your desktop system. Please note that this is
    intended for single user/workstation use. For use on servers, customers are
    required to purchase the PGP Command Line/Batch Server product. Please
    contact your local Network Associates Sales representative for more
    information.
    
    Automated Freespace Wiping. PGP's Freespace Wipe feature now allows you to
    use the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule periodic secure wiping of the
    freespace on your disk.
    
    Hotkeys. The Use Current Window feature has been significantly enhanced by
    the addition of Hotkeys. By pressing the configured key combination, the
    Encrypt/Decrypt/Sign functions can be automatically invoked in zero clicks
    without using PGPtray.
    
    Fingerprint Word List. When verifying a PGP public key fingerprint, you can
    now choose to view the fingerprint as a word list instead of hexadecimal
    characters. The word list in the fingerprint text box is made up of special
    authentication words that PGP uses and are carefully selected to be
    phonetically distinct and easy to understand without phonetic ambiguity.
    
    Support for Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 5.0. This version of PGP adds
    support for sending and receiving encrypted e-mail in Microsoft Outlook 2000
    and Outlook Express 5.0.
    
    HTTP Proxy Support. If you are behind a corporate firewall with an HTTP
    proxy server, PGP now supports accessing HTTP keyservers through the proxy.
    To use this feature, you must configure the proxy server address in your
    Internet Explorer preferences.
    
    Smart Word Wrapping. The word wrapping in PGP now automatically rewraps
    paragraphs and even quoted paragraphs resulting in much cleaner signed
    messages.
