                     17:      * Added error messages for 'pgp -w' (wipe only) option
                     18:      * Fixed a large number of other minor bugs, too many to mention here
                     19:

                     26:      * Added support for more character sets (cp852, cp860 etc.)
                     27:      * Added support for system-wide language.txt file
                     28:      * Added a number of new LANG() conversions, enabling translators
