# This is a Sample Config.TXT file for use with PGP 2.21 and PGPShell or
# GenMsg. Please READ the COMMENTS, and adjust as required for your use!
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Keywords are not case-sensitive.
# MyName is substring (a PART of the string is sufficient) of default user
# ID for secret key to make signatures.
# If not set, PGP will use the first key on your secret keyring (the last
# key you created) if you don't specify the user with -u
#
# NOTE PGPShell and GenMsg EXPECT this to be setup to point to YOUR KEY!
#
#MyName = "your name"
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The language we will be using for displaying messages to the user.
#
# Available languages:
# en = English (default), es = Spanish, fr = French,
# de = German, nl = Dutch, it = Italian, esp = Esperanto,
# lv = Latvian, lt3 = Lithuanian, ru = Russian
#
# Languages not yet available:
# fi = Finnish, hu = Hungarian, no = Norwegian, pt = Portugese,
# sv = Swedish, da = Danish, is = Icelandic,
# zh = Chinese, ko = Korean, ar = Arabic, iw = Hebrew,
# el = Greek, tr = Turkish, ja = Japanese
#
# Most of these codes are the ISO 639-1988 2-letter "Codes for
# Representation of Names of Languages"
#
# NOTE: PGPShell and GenMsg work fine with NONE of these enabled!
#
#Language = en
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Character set for displaying messages and for conversion of text files.
# If you set this variable to cp850, ascii or alt_codes, PGP will do
# character set conversions if TextMode = on or if you specify the -t
# option when encrypting or signing a file.
#
# Available character sets:
# latin1, cp850, alt_codes, koi8, ascii
#
# For MSDOS with a standard character set you should use cp850 to get
# correct character translations. Russian character sets for MSDOS are
# usually alt_codes.
#
# The default for CharSet is "noconv" which means no character conversion.
# Note that noconv, latin1, and koi8 are all treated as equivalent.
#
# NOTE: PGPShell and GenMsg work FINE with none of these enabled!
#
#CharSet = cp850
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# TMP is the directory name for PGP scratch files, usually a RAM disk.
#TMP = "E:\temp"
# Can be overridden by environment variable TMP
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Pager is the file viewing program used for viewing messages with -m
# If not set or set to "pgp", a built-in pager will be used. The pager set
# in config.txt will override the environment variable PAGER.
#
# NOTE: This where you enable the utility List for viewing PGP output.
# PGPShell and GenMsg work fine either way, but using List is nice...!
#
Pager = "list"
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ArmorLines is the maximum number of lines per packet when creating a
# transport armored file. Set to 0 to disable splitting in parts.
# NOTE: SETTING THIS TO 0 (ZERO) is a REALLY GOOD IDEA for use with
# GenMsg, PGP or SSD!
Armorlines = 0
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!-
# Default flags to set...
#
# NOTE: NONE of these should be enabled !!!
#
# Armor = on # Use -a flag for ASCII armor whenever applicable
# TextMode = on # Attempt to use -t option where applicable
# KeepBinary = on # Decrypt will not delete intermediate .pgp file
# compress = off # off means suppress compression to aid debugging
# showpass = on # Echo password when user types it
#
# ONE MORE TIME... Do NOT enable any of the above!!!
#--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!--!-
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Uncomment any of the following to do as the comment says instead of
# the default.
# Setting Verbose to 0 is not a bad idea...
#
verbose = 0 # turn off all non-essential output
# interactive = on # Prompt before adding each key to pubring.pgp
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# BakRing is the path to a backup copy of your secret keyring, usually
# on floppy disk. Your secret keys will be compared with the backup copy
# when doing a keyring check (pgp -kc)
#BakRing = "c:\bak\pvtkey.pgp"
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Number of completely trusted signatures needed to make a key valid.
Completes_Needed = 1
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Number of marginally trusted signatures needed to make a key valid.
Marginals_Needed = 2
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# How many levels of introducers may introduce other introducers.
Cert_Depth = 4
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# TZFix is hours to add to time() to get GMT, for GMT timestamps.
# Since MSDOS assumes local time is US Pacific time, and pre-corrects
# Pacific time to GMT, make TZFix=0 for California, -1 for Colorado,
# -2 for Chicago, -3 for NY, -8 for London, -9 for Amsterdam.
# However, if your MSDOS environmental variable TZ is properly defined
# for your timezone, you can leave TZFix=0. Unix systems probably
# shouldn't need to worry about setting TZFix.
# TZFix = 0
#
# NOTE: GenMsg REQUIRES the environmental variable TZ to be set... so use
# it instead of PGPs' TZFix parameter!!!

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
