Thanks for the response. I did try. But GPG cannot verify this file. I get the following answer gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: the signature could not be verified. Please remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc) should be the first file given on the command line. *Probably *one of the following two is happening 1. This signature is NOT GPG compliant 2. Probably this signature is GPG / PGP compliant but GPG is unable to recognise this as a GPG signature So back to my original question 1. How do I find out if a signature file _is_ PGP / GPG compliant & 1.a. Will changing the extension help ? regards maniams
