I'm attaching to this message the final client version 1 of MacPGP Control.

MacPGP Control (or MPGPC for short) is an AppleScript(R) application
that offers an easy-to-use, more Macintosh(R) friendly user interface
to Philip Zimmermann's PGP software ãMacPGP(R).

MacPGP Control relies on your AppleScript-aware version of MacPGP to
perform encryption and decryption. It is a US$15 shareware.

The main features of MPGPC are:

*** MacPGP related features
+ Compatible with all known scriptable versions of MacPGP including
the MIT versions and the MacPGP 2.6.3i.
+ Keypair generation of any allowed (by MacPGP) length up to 2048-bit.
+ Update of PGP public key information of user keyring members through
TCP/IP connection.
+ Definition and use of nicknames for Users and Groups recipients.
+ More user control for keyring related actions, through a true
Macintosh Human Interface and ãin some casesã direct manipulation of
keyring file data, including: editing trust flag byte,
enabling/disabling, extracting, checking, certifying, fingerprinting,
and forcing Warn-Only bits.
+ More user control for PGP and conventionally encrypting text and
binary files. When PGP encrypting file, users can designate more than
one recipient.
+ Secure clean clear-signed PGP ciphers, through the implementation of
features such as: expanding tabs, transliterating non-USASCII
characters, and word-wrapping lines before processing and handing over
to email application.
+ Viewing of PGP packets for educational and debugging purposes.
+ Opaque signing (asciified clear-signed text)
+ Transparent use of user's UserIDs found in his/her secret keyring file.
+ Encryption to multiple recipients.
+ Generation of Key Revocation Certificates.

*** Macintosh related features
+ Encryption of voice messages recorded by Mac sound input devices.
+ Easy to use, point-and-click Macintosh User Interface.
+ Extensive support of drag-and-drop.
+ Documented handlers calls for use by other scriptors.
