I can't rememeber. I checked that it has been in v0.0.0 so it might left over code from some experiments :-(. ElGamal signatures are not anymore used very much, but this should not been there - I'll better throw a bug() here. The code is out for nearly 2 years and nobody has noticed it - hmmm ... Please go ahead and check more code. Werner -- Werner Koch at guug.de www.gnupg.org keyid 621CC013
