  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.
