-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This is to announce the availability of Version 1.4b of SecureDrive.

SecureDrive Version 1.4b replaces version 1.4a, 1.4, 1.3d, and previous
versions.

Release 1.4b is a maintenance release of 1.4/a. No new function is added.

Only modules SDCOMMON.C, SETENV.ASM and CRYPTDSK.C have non-cosmetic
changes, which affect executables LOGIN.EXE and CRYPTDSK.EXE.  For
that reason, all other executables still self-identify as release 1.4.
They are in fact the exact same EXE & COM files as release 1.4.

1.4b fixes problems setting PGPPASS from Windows 95, either inside
Win95 from a DOS window, or from the DOS 7.0 environment outside
Windows.

Unfortunately, LOGIN still cannot activate SecureDrive decryption from
inside a Win95 DOS window.

This same fix also, for the first time, enables LOGIN to set
PGPPASS (as well as activate SecureDrive) from inside a
Windows 3.x DOS window.

CRYPTDSK also contains added warning msgs for 1) attempting to encrypt
drive C: and 2) interrupting en/decryption with Ctrl-Break.

There are also some minor changes in SECDRV.DOC.

In the USA, SecureDrive 1.4b is now available at

    Colorado Catacombs BBS - 303-772-1062 (up to 28,800 bps, 8n1) -
    log in with your own name or alias.  Download SECDR14B.ZIP from
    the [F]ile menu.

    ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/USA/?????/disk/secdr14b.zip
    where the ????? is given in ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/README

These are all controlled-access sites available to USA citizens and
residents only.

Thanks to the cooperation of Steve Crompton of the U.K., who worked
with me closely, I am able to also announce availability on an
offshore site,

  ftp://utopia.hacktic.nl/pub/replay/pub/disk/secdr14b.zip

In case anyone in the U.S. Justice Dept. is reading this, Steve and I
were very careful to do this release without violating US export
restrictions. The only things I "exported" to Steve were "diffs" for
source changes from 1.4a to 1.4b, which themselves don't contain any
code capable of encryption or decryption. Steve combined those with
source for 1.4a, already available overseas.

Steve compiled the new source code, and sent the new EXE files to me.
I compared the new executables to ones I compiled myself and verified
they match, bit for bit.  I then sent back to Steve detached signature
files for the executables.  Steve then put together secdr14b.zip and
sent that to me for final inspection.  I then compared all files
against my "master" files here and verified that they matched. I then
shipped the secdr14b.zip that Steve sent me to the USA sites. So the
USA release matches bit for bit the offshore release.

Here are the contents of secdr14b.zip
