GREAT ! Thanks to people porting GNU-PG, OpenSSL or other useful SW to
DOS.

Is there a problem with random numbers ? How does this version of
GNU-PG
produce them ? Would it be possible to read them from an external file,
one
could have produced before using GNU-PG ? How much random data is
needed for
the actions (key pair inventing, encryption, ... ) ?

I do know that randomization is critical, but am not an expert on asym.

encryption.
