                        Windows Privacy Tray 0.9
                        ========================


WARNING: This branch is the testing branch of WinPT. The next stable
         branch will be 1.0. 

This branch mainly introduces smart card support for the OpenPGP card.
For more information please visit www.g10-code.com/p-card.html. Alternativ
you may ask on the [email protected] list for general information
about the card and the GPG 1.3 support to use it. The stable branch of
GPG (1.2) does not have any support for it. Please remember that the
1.3 branch is also unstable and thus use it with some caution.

On the other side, we encourage people to test this branch (WinPT+GPG)
to track down bugs and to help that it will become stable (1.4) soon.


_In any case please use GPG 1.2.3 or later for WinPT 0.9_.


Requirements for smart card use
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- A card reader that is PC/SC compatible
- An OpenPGP card (either a test card <= 0.9 or the release version 1.0)
- GnuPG 1.3.3 or later and WinPT 0.9.0

Feel free to ask on [email protected] or [email protected] for
more information.


Install
~~~~~~~

Unzip winpt-0.9.x-exe.zip and replace the old winpt.exe and the ptd.dll.
Please make sure that there are no concurrent ptd.dll files on your hard
disk. That's all. Now you can start WinPT.
