    Some good news for all people speaking French in the world ;-)

    PGP 5.53fr: a team of programmers based in Belgium and UK
    have started a French version of PGP for Windows.

    Four programmers based in Belgium and UK announced
    they intend to publish a PGP 5.53fr version based on the
    PGPi code.

    This news is important because it would be the first non-English
    version of the best encryption program, and it would be made
    in the national language of the country which symbolizes
    cryptographic prohibition in the world: France.

    All information on this work are on the web site "Traduction
    de PGP 5.5.3 sous Windows 95/98/NT" :

       http://people.nirvanet.net/p/pgp553fr/public_html/

    The authors say there are looking for : "Developers in Microsoft
    Visual C++ 5.0 (...) Anonymous participations are also welcome."
