Does this include the Unix CLI? (And yes, I know a lot of my code is
in there.. I was amused when I ported 6.5.8 to Tru64. I was also
surprised (but relieved) at the re-write of the Ascii Parser).

I sent patches to pgp-bugs@pgp.com. Is peerreview@pgp.com documented
anywhere? The particular bug is the COMMENT handling in the binary
parser.

So, um, what happens then? If NAI cannot find a buyer, will they bury
the code? Or will NAI donate the code to the OpenSource community?
If they cannot find a buyer will they relinguish the commercial rights
to the OpenSource version (i.e. so that commercial entities can use
the freeware)?
