[rahul kaushik]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your pains taking attention towards my problem.
I am still in dilemma . I would like to know what are the steps to be taken
to write a pgp key server
in C++ using. Recently i have used GNUPG for my application so have limited
knowledge for that.
I went through the sks source code ( whatever available in link give by you.
). I tried understand that but it did not make sense to me.So please guide
me in accomplishing this task.

It would be great if you could help me out.

Please reply me ASAP.

Regards,
Rahul Kaushik
