New Cryptor Bundle version 2.1 with Source code available.
This is a bug fix and feature enhancement release.

I have uploaded source code and binaries which run on NextStep
3.3 and OpenStep 4.2 Next/Intel to ftp://ftp.next.peak.org, with
the filename Cryptor.2.1.bundle.NI.s.tar.gz.  See the new arrivals
directory listings for where it will eventually land.

Also included in the package is a patchfile which allows PGP
version 5.0 to compile on NextStep3.3 or OpenStep 4.2.

This is a new implementation of the Cryptor bundle
for NextStep/OpenStep Next/Intel Mail.app.  This bundle
uses PGP version 5.0 as the encryption engine.  PGP is
not included due to United States export restrictions.  Once
you do get PGP from one of the European sources, you can patch
the PGP source to allow it to compile on NextStep/OpenStep
with the enclosed file pgp50i.patch.

This version of Cryptor.bundle will do most key management
with drag-and-drop icons.  You can add keys to your keyring
by dragging a key-file icon into the Key Well, and you can
send keys to others by dragging a key icon from the Key Well
to your mail message.

This version of Cryptor.bundle also does a complete check of
your PGP installation to insure you have installed and configured
pgp correctly.  Any errors in your pgp installation will be 
detected, and an informative panel decribing the problem and
suggesting a solution will appear.  This should alleviate many
people's frustrations in getting PGP encryption running.

Caveats:

   o  Cryptor.bundle will only encrypt PlainMail or NextMail
      messages.  MIME messages cannot be encrypted with Cryptor.
      
   o  Encrypted messages are sent in NextMail format.  Even
      encrypted PlainText messages are sent in NextMail format.
      Messages encrypted with Cryptor.bundle will not be easily
      un-encrypted by anyone without NextMail capability.  It's
      not impossible, but it requires some skill with command-line
      tools.  [Briefly, a NextMail message is simply a uuencoded
      gzipped tar file (got that?).  You can get to the pgp
      message by uudecoding, uncompressing, and de-tarring the
      NextMail body.  Then you can use pgp to decrypt.  Like I
      said, not impossible, but cumbersome.]
