| Message-ID | <o7qiss$1b3b$1@adenine.netfront.net> |
Hello all, I recently installed LinuxMint 17 and PGP, but I can't find which version of PGP i have. Naturally, i tried "PGP -v" but receive an error. Also, it refuses all commands starting with "--", i.e. "--version". Also is missing "man pgp". Anyway, I think that David's site <http://www.rossde.com/PGP/pgp_encrypt.html> is extremely useful, and I'll probably study it in days to come. Thanks, Mileking

My version acts like yours regarding those operands. However,
the first line of output (before the error messages) includes the
version number, and the next line includes the copyright date.

I don't know about Mint, but Mageia has gnupg and gnupg2 available in it's repositories. Regards, Dave Hodgins -- Change dwhodgins@nomail.afraid.org to davidwhodgins@teksavvy.com for email replies.
