1. Important Notes
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
This is the core part of the GnuPG system as used by several other
|
|
frontend programs. This installer does not provide any graphical
|
|
frontend and thus almost everything needs to be done on the command
|
|
line. However, a small native Windows GUI tool is included which is
|
|
used by GnuPG to ask for passphrases. It provides only the basic
|
|
functionality and is installed under the name "pinentry-basic.exe".
|
|
Other software using this core component may install a different
|
|
version of such a tool under the name "pinentry.exe" or configure the
|
|
gpg-agent to use that version.
|
|
|
|
See https://gnupg.org for latest news. HowTo documents and manuals
|
|
can be found there but some have also been installed on your machine.
|
|
|
|
Development and maintenance of GnuPG is mostly financed by donations;
|
|
please see https://gnupg.org/donate/ for details.

|
|
