Gnupg-users Digest, Vol 180, Issue 3

[Roland Siemons (P)]

@ Dirk Gottschalk: Thanks for very effective response to my first question!

Remains:
How can I see what is on the smartcard?
How can I copy files to the smartcard?

I studied the GnuPG Smartcard How-To
(www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto.html), but that is
entirely linux oriented. Whereas I am working on a win7 system.

HOWEVER, by trial and error, I found out that the same commands work on
the command line terminal of Win7. I shall test it further.

Best regards,

Roland
