Hi August,

I tested it on another user account on my linux machine that hasn't got yours
or mine keys installed in it's gpg configuration. I get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# gpg > EXTERNUTIL 1 /home/fido/bin/fido_gpg.sh @file -sa ;sign

I was thinking the same thing. ;-)
Let's try it out on this reply.
Bye, Wilfred.
gpg: Signature made Thu Jan 9 21:58:24 2020 CET using RSA key ID 4A97932B
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You could try the same thing on windows. ;)
Btw: This is a good example when it's usefull to run gpg without options! ;)
Bye, Wilfred.
