Hi,
1) version: 1.2.0
2) it is a DOS-problem! I made a bat-file in WindowsXP and made a shortcut=
=20
in the folder "SEND TO". Thus I could easily check signatures from Windows=
=20
Explorer by right-clicking and chosing send-to the bat-file. It worked as=20
expected in WindowsXP, but not in Windows98.
3) Content of bat-file:
gpgv %1
pause
4) Error message:
gpgv: no signed data
gpgv: can't hash datafile: fel vid =F6ppnande av fil (=3Derror on opening of=
file)
5) Yes, I know GPG is Win32 and not DOS! Maybe there is a workaround=
solution?
