But, of course, the point of having a spec is interoperability. - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net No man ever listened himself out of a job -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQF8BAEBCgBmBQJU31yqXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRCM0FFN0VDQTlBOEM4QjMwMjZBNUEwRjU2 QjdDNzRDRUIzMUYyNUYwAAoJEGt8dM6zHyXwanYIAJYsJWmUywdxcm9yRR0KUBmC i+EVmgti1M2wwB/DOgTTw5P1BlTRI4ISuJDF/p1y5AUC5lP25sMpFlWYcXWTT/kD hxeYugs1BaQ9CG1SGk9FuC1xd6fQNAzXtl4gmhNdqyMSXUzVYGJESzxREUrFBpSE C7NZpBBMJ7gDTrzSB13oX0AvaPcxnYz1o3AppA2aRVGkWRy6sOAxag9YIlRLV49F PNBHxRN+XfH2HxA9iPo6fGAMqiQI569QJ/GsvXK4NhfTVSCxRYCRgVib5ryuWc4M xYcTP/nGSBPH+N3Ak8yxHdmEQvUi0/mbOOwJBF8dknayUl+vjChrNtSjiGc5AYGI vgQBFgoAZgUCVN9cu18UgAAAAAAuAChpc3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVu cGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0MzNBQ0VENEVFOTEzNEVFQkRFNkE4NTA2MTcx MkJDNDYxQUY3NzhFNAAKCRAXErxGGvd45JThAQDO5+KeIfP6fJDJodyXY/nEV4Xd OVHhqT+p2siO0B8WSwEAYcpk1OIAmfdWXTEjWKqHMmK6UsB+oL3+c2aWd6KbXgw= =MUbx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
