Surely we can do better. For instance, we could make an alias for each command with `crypt' instead of `epa'. You might have a better idea for precisely how to do this, but let's do it somehow. The existing names are totally unhelpful. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
