Extracting the application
--------------------------

The file AutoCrypt contained in this directory is a self-extracting archive.
If you double-click on it, a Save icon will appear. You can then drag this
icon to the directory of your choice, where the application will be saved.


Distribution site
-----------------

The primary distribution site for this software is

http://web.bham.ac.uk/N.M.Queen/pgp/acorn.html

and copies obtained from any other source should be considered valid only if
the enclosed self-extracting archive is byte-identical to the one obtained
from that site.


Authentication
--------------

If you are confident that you have obtained a valid copy of this software,
you may ignore this section.

Assuming that you know how to use PGP, you can use it to check that your
copy of the enclosed self-extracting archive has not been corrupted in any
way. For this purpose, detached signatures of the author, Tony Hopstaken,
and of the owner of the distribution site, Nat Queen, are included in this
directory as the files sigH/asc and sigQ/asc. If either of these signatures
does not validate the archive, you should assume that your copy is corrupt.

The appropriate public keys must be on your keyring in order to check the
signatures. These public keys can be downloaded from the distribution site
or from the PGP key servers. For details on checking detached signatures,
consult the PGP documents.
