    Subject: [javakey] create DSA key pair

Hello Sir/Madam,

With reference to your homepage about javakey,
http://www.javasoft.com:81/security/usingJavakey.html, I follow the
instruction step-by-step, and found that there is no observable response
after I invoke "javakey -cs "duke" DSA 512 duke_pub duke_priv". I have
waited for the response for about 10 mins and I got nothing. Was I missing
any step? Or did the program expect me to input something in the command
prompt? Or is the program corrupted? Or was the program still running and
really need such a long time?

For your information, the program javakey.exe is downloaded with jdk
1.1.7B (Windows version) and the file size is 6144 dated on 11-11-98 8:51p.
I'm running it under the DOS prompt of MS Windows 95 (4.00.950a) with 24M
RAM. During the program is running, a netscape navigator 4.08, a DOS
prompt, McAfee VirusScan, McAfee VShield 3.1.9, and Desktop Contents are
running.

Regards,
Johnny
