Gnupg is in hamm and slink. It has recently undergone a major change making
a change to the format for storing keys (making it a PITA if you want to keep

stabilised a bit and is unlikely to undergo any further radical changes.

I'll be in Denver from 30 Oct 1998 to 7 Nov 1998 (or maybe a few days longer).
I'll be in London from ~9 Nov 1998. I'd like to meet any Linux users or
users groups in these places at these times.
I plan to work in London for 3 - 6 months...
