PGP does strange things to get uncooked keyboard access; it's possible NT
doesn't like the mechanisms used for doing this under DOS. W2K had better
DOS emulation stuff, and Win98 _is DOS, so everything you say makes sense
WRT this hypothesis.
Maybe you can get a 32 bit PGP 2.6.3i binary? I can't imagine supporting
DOS is actually an issue these days.
