Obviously it would be rather boneheaded to leave the unencrypted file in place once you are sure that the encryption worked. right?

To decrypt the file you just encrypted type: @: gpg -d filename. Gpg > filename. Decrypted You don't need to call the resulting file filename.

Decrypted any filename will do. But existing files by the same name will be overwritten. Before deleting the unencrypted file you may wish to check that this process really worked.

Here' how: @: cmp filename filename. Decrypted cmp returns nothing if the two files are identical. If they are not - it tells you so.

Now, you can safely erase the unencrypted file - if you can remember the password. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
