texte = I'm sure there are far more elegant ways to work the problem, but remember who we're working with here (ie, me :). I've always been a believer in the KISS principle and try to avoid reinventing the wheel whenever possible. In this case, I have a client that can accept credit cards but doesn't do enough business to afford the bank fees involved with electronic transfers.I have their Country Store set up so that the customer gets an invoice with a number to call to give his credit card information. I have their membership only section set up so they can pay their dues or make donations via credit card, but the card info is hashed using a lookup table, then emailed to the Executive Director who has a copy of the lookup table. Rube Goldburg, I'll admit, but it works. The PCS Decrypt would automate the receiving end, automatically decoding the credit card number for the Executive Director. (He complains about decoding manually. Go figure.)As to scripting into pgp or gnupgp, I have NO experience with pgp and this sounds too much like a violation of the KISS principle. :)-LurchOn 1/2/03 1:01 PM, Bob Minor
