1994-10-12 07:38:00
TIS/PEM version 7.0 is now available for non-commercial use (can't be
sold or included in a product or service for sale) in the US and
Canada.

Much has changed in this new, improved version of TIS/PEM:

  o single-user operation with executables that can be shared 
  o per-user ASCII (human-readable) databases
  o support for multiple databases
  o support for both certificates and bare public keys
  o flexible trust model
  o signature, verification, encryption, and decryption services are 
    provided by their own programs and functions, making integration 
    with other mail user agents straightforward
  o support for MIME-PEM integration
  o administrative functions are handled by several scriptable 
    applications and much can be done using standard text processing 
    tools
  o less reliance on UNIX-specific features
  o easier installation
  o faster processing

To get started with TIS/PEM 7.0, retrieve the following files via
anonymous ftp from ftp.tis.com in the /pub/PEM directory:

  CONTENTS

TIS/PEM and MH are now loosely coupled and are no longer distributed
together.  If you don't already have a copy of MH 6.8.3, you can
retrieve the compressed tar file mh-6.8.3.tar.Z containing the
standard distribution from the /pub/PEM/other directory.
