I've gotten several responses that relate to the 13-digit 
Registration Code that goes with my call to enable the operation of 
WriteLog, which isn't what I was asking about.

Apparently, nobody bothers to use PGP to verify that the files on the 
WriteLog site haven't been tampered with, as outlined in 
http://www.writelog.com/pgp_signatures.htm

I got a response from K5DJ who says he isn't even sure that Wayne is 
even using PGP anymore and to just download the installation file 
.exe and not worry about it.  Chances are that's fine, but if so, why 
not delete all the info on the web site and in the introductory 
e-mail along with all the .sig file links so people don't waste hours 
trying to get it to validate.

After investing the time, I'd still appreciate hearing from anyone 
who HAS recently used PGP to validate the WL files.  I know, I'm just 
another AR nerd engineer, so you don't need to remind me of that!
