About "GNU Privacy Guard Plug-in"

  "GNU Privacy Guard Plug-in" (BkGnuPG) is the plug-in software to be
  used with "Becky! Internet Mail Ver. 2" (B2).
  By using "GNU Privacy Guard" (GnuPG) you can sign or encrypt your
  e-mail message.  Also it can verify or decrypt incoming e-mail that
  was encrypted or signed by "Pretty Good Privacy" (PGP) or GnuPG.

  There is a "Becky PGP plug-in" (BkPGP) that comes with B2, but almost
  everything you can do through PGP can be done by GnuPG, and GnuPG
  supports functions not yet supported by PGP.


Environment

  Besides I am using confirmation only in the following platform,
  because there is not developmental environment, although I think that
  it has no problem if B2 and Win32 version GnuPG are using.

     Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 3 (Japanese version)


Installation and uninstallation method

  I explain for the one who was downloaded a full package version
  in this chapter.
  The one who was downloaded a package of with the installer starts
  the file where you downloaded and shall comply with the instructions
  of the window screen.  Uninstall please do uninstallation from
  "Add/RemovePrograms" applet of control panel.

  Please confirm that the installation of B2 and GnuPG are completing
  first of all.  I recommend that does the following setting about GnuPG,
  especially.

     - PATH is set up to the folder that module (gpg.exe) is implementation.
     - GnuPG home directory is set up.

  Please see the README.W32 file that comes in the GnuPG zip file
  about these setting method.

  able to take out it.

     - BkGnuPG load module (DLL file)
     - BkGnuPG source code file (zip compression)
     - Manual (the HTML file below "manual\" folder)
     - This file

  You copy BkGnuPG.dll of these files to the "PlugIns" folder that is
  in a B2 installation folder or data folder, to install BkGnuPG.

  The uninstallation is completion if you delete the DLL file where
  copied.  Please delete even this, if there is BkGnuPG.ini.
