       AbattoiR Beta Read Me File 20/12/1999
 ----------------------------------------------------

This is the second test build of AbattoiR.

For those who had received the pre-beta release by email
I recommend that you update to this version.  It's is much
nicer, and multi-threaded, unlike it's previous incarnation.

I have tested it and found that it produces the desired
results.

What is it for?

It's to generate PGP DS keys with a target Key ID.

Run the program.

Goto the File|Configure & Go

Enter the desired Key parameters.

You will be asked to enter some random data.

After which the key generation process will begin.

While in the key generation phase, you may abort any time
by selecting File|Abort Keygen from the menu.

You will have to wait anywhere from 1 to a couple of minutes
before your abort request is processed.  The state of the
program as well as it's progress is displayed in the log
window.

When the key generation is successful the key is dumped to
a file in the same directory were you had run the program.

The key file will have the same name as the key fingerprint
suffixed by a .asc extension.

i.e. 1740398E6CBD40FDCC76C2357F9DBEE8DEADBEEF.asc

Double click on the file to import it into your key ring.

BTW, the passphrase for the generated key will be bozo.

Please note that the key so generated is a sign only key.

You will need to create it's DH part in order to make it
a sign and encrypt key.

This is clearly work in progress.  A lot of work remains to be
done for the final version.

Therefore, please do not distribute, share, or discuss it.

Also, your feedback and suggestions will be most appreciated.

Please note that it takes a very long time to produce the desired
key.  Just be patient, and eventually the program will generate
the DS key with the KeyID you requested it to produce.

How long does it take?  I would say at the most 24 hours if you
are not lucky.  Or forever if you are very unlucky.

As always,

Enjoy!

Best regards

Imad R. Faiad
