Is there something else that's needed for emacs21? I'm having
trouble:
$ gpg -c file.txt
passphrase: ********
reenter : ********
$ ls
file.txt.gpg
$ emacs -nw file.txt.gpg
emacs asks for the "encryption key", so I enter the passphrase,
because if I hit "return to ignore" is see the scrambled data. After
entering the passphrase, emacs reports "Searching for program: no such
file or directory, crypt".
any ideas?
