Re: [gnukeyring-discuss] Palm OS Restore Problem

[Jochen H. <hoe...@gm...>]

Hello,

yes, I now remember that Peter Newman told me about his Android app:

http://pnewman.com/keyring/

I also tried to recover some of the lost web pages using the web archive:

http://www.jochen-hoenicke.de/keyring2-pre/griessnig/
http://www.jochen-hoenicke.de/keyring2-pre/lieder/

and some links are already in the repository, but for some reasons
(probably, because the web-update process has changed) I never updated the
site, sorry.
