I've resisted replying so far because I couldn't see that this was relevant to a secure-programming list, but in an attempt to kill the thread: - I have run PGP for DOS on a variety of NT and Win2K systems without any problems. - If you really want to run PGP 2.x under NT et al, get one of the Disastry versions, which is the 2.x code built as a Win32 binary.
