                        ===========================


WARNING: This branch is the testing branch of WinPT. The next stable
         branch will be 1.0. 

This branch mainly introduces smart card support for the OpenPGP card.
For more information please visit www.g10-code.com/p-card.html. Alternative
you may ask on the gnupg-users@gnupg.org list for general information
about the card and the GPG 1.4 support to use it.

On the other side, we encourage people to test the development branch 
(WinPT+GPG) to track down bugs and to help that it will become stable soon.


_It is recommend to use GPG 1.4.0a or later for WinPT 0.9.9x_.


Requirements for smart card use
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- A card reader that is PC/SC compatible
- An OpenPGP card (either a test card <= 0.9 or the release version 1.0)
- GnuPG 1.3.3 (>= 1.4.0 is recommend) or later and WinPT 0.9.9x.

Feel free to ask on gnupg-users@gnupg.org or winpt-users@lcsweb.net for
more information.



Install
~~~~~~~

Unzip winpt-0.9.9x-exe.zip and replace the old winpt.exe and the ptd.dll.
