ADRCSV | Converts between external Addressbook format and Comma Separated Values |
HangUp32 | Extension for 32-bit Pegasus Mail for Windows to provide automatic hang up of Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking connections that are initiated by Pegasus Mail. (Replaces DISCON32.) |
NsProto | Launches Pegasus Mail (and other apps) from Netscape Navigator |
PGPJN | PGP Encryptor Interface |
URLPROXY | Latest version of URL Proxy helper |
Useful because many (most?) database programs can import/export data in CSV format but not in Pegasus Mail Addressbook format.

To install, extract all files to your Pegasus Mail for Windows executable directory. Then use the Tools | Extensions | Hangup Connection menu item in Pegasus Mail for Windows to access the configuration options. (If the menu item does not appear, then you did not extract the files to the correct directory.)
Replaces DISCON32. If you have installed DISCON32, you must remove all DISCON32.* files from your Pegasus Mail for Windows executable directory before installing HangUp32.
Note: this is a BETA release (Version 1.1beta2). Known problem: When HangUp32 is installed, the Window list in Pegasus Mail for Windows does not work properly. (This problem is being investigated.)

NsProto is a Win32 (32-bit Windows) application that is designed for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. There will never be a Win16 (16-bit) version for standard Windows. However, NsProto is able to invoke 16-bit applications.
The primary application for NsProto is as a 'mailto' protocol proxy client for Pegasus Mail for Windows. (However, the architecture of NsProto is flexible enough to also work with other applications.) What this means is that you will be able to click on a 'mailto:' hyperlink in Netscape Navigator, and have Pegasus Mail for Windows automatically launched with a new email message filled in for the address in the 'mailto:' hyperlink.

PGP Encryptor Interface by John NavasVersion: 1.1, last updated: Monday, December 11, 1995. |
The PGP Encryptor Interface integrates seamlessly into the 16-bit implementation of Pegasus Mail for Windows (Version 2.23 and above), making it easy to protect email messages with secure PGP public key encryption and/or digital signatures. The PGP Encryptor Interface is completely free and includes full source code. (You will also need PGP software -- see below.)
Update 7/96: Since the 32-bit version Pegasus Mail for Windows is being released, expect a 32-bit implementation of the Encryptor Interface to be released within about 30 days. It will support the current PGP 2.x (rather than waiting for PGP Version 3.0, which will reportedly include a native Windows API).
Update 8/96: The 32-bit version of the Encryptor Interface is a bit behind schedule (which was "about" 30 days, not 30 days exactly), but it is still coming. Please be patient (and do not send email asking when it will be released).
Update 11/96: The Internet encryption landscape has been in a state of flux over the past few months, which is the principal reason that there is still no update of the Encryptor Interface. Frankly, this author has not been thrilled by the prospect of writing a lot of tricky code only to have to throw it away in a few months, or of getting lots of complaints that a new implementation does not conform or interoperate with other programs. (If you want to hassle someone, do it to PGP Inc., which still hasn't released even a beta of the long-promised PGP 3.0 [with a Windows API], or the Internet community, which is still struggling with trying to standardize encryption, and which just published RFC's [1991 and 2015] that change the playing field yet again, while an ad hoc group pushes a "unofficial" standard using X-headers.) This author has also been hoping for an update to the Pegasus Mail for Windows core that would make it possible to address some of the shortcomings of the current implementation. In any event, there will still be an update to the Encryptor Interface, and it hopefully will be sometime soon; however, since this author has been hassled over the 30 day estimate above, no further estimate will be made. Please be patient (and do not send email asking when it will be released).
Update 6/97: The latest hang-up is the uncertain status, legality, and effect of the revised U.S. Government export regulations on encryption. In particular this author is watching the progress of encryption legislation and lawsuits. Please be patient (and do not send email asking when it will be released).
