The Mac-PGP Resource Page

This is a page for the "lost" OS for PGP, Mac-PGP. Most of the resources on the Net cover the use of PGP with Windows or Windows '95. This is somewhat understandable, as PGP was not originally written with the Mac in mind but had to be ported wholesale to the Mac OS. Thus, this page attempts, little by little, to pull together resources for the Mac-PGP User to turn to. We hope you find it useful and enjoy it. Here are some programs and sites you will probably find helpful:

MacPGP 2.6.3 Home Page What MacPGP Web site could even start without a link to the program's home page where you can garner important information and pointers about MacPGP, including how to obtain the latest version released in July 1996, which includes built in stealth capabilities. This link is undoubtedly worth your time to visit.
The Mac Crypto Page Mac Crypto Digest and other good stuff.
MacPGP: Encryption and the Macintosh A site containing tons of important links to MacPGP front-ends and programs and information you need to be aware of to get the most from Mac PGP.
File Crypt,(f/k/a Safemail/Pretty Safe Mail and PSM) One of the newer, and better, implementations of an encryption and decryption utility for the Mac.
The Mac PGP Kit Ver. 1.7.1 This is a helpful kit of tools to aid encrypting with PGP and help integrate PGP with the Eudora e-mail program. Key management features are included as is a nice deletion program and many more features. Its a large download (over one meg) because of the many included items.
MacPGP Control A Mac PGP Encryption Front End with is written with Applescript in mind. It also integrates nicely with Eudora (even the Pro version 3.0), but is slower than the Mac PGP Kit due to the latency of Applescripts. It also is integrated with the clipboard and has nice key management features.
CryptDisk A utility I would be lost without. Create encrypted disks right on your desktop. While not strictly a MacPGP item, it is a Mac encryption utility I highly recommend.
Chain Mail 1.0b2 Originally scripted by Jonathan Rochind (and no longer supported by him), Robert Lytle has picked up this handy mac utility, substantially rescripted it and is continuing its development. Although it requires you obtain several external Applescript components, once running, it will chain e-mail message for you in a fashion reminiscent of Private Idaho . Its nice, but hard to get running, and whereas you were formerly on your own, Rob is now out there to lend a hand. Don't forget to pick up the documentation.
Via Nymserver Another (of course) Applescript based program to enable one to utilize NYM servers. Untested by the author of this web site.

As time goes on, and as members of the PGP-Users List contribute more pointers to MacPGP web resources, this page will be expanded until, hopefully, it becomes one of the first places for a MacPGP user to turn when help with MacPGP is needed.
