hi:
  I have written a simple program to encrypt files using PGP, cryptix
API. The encrypted output can be decrypted by PGP freeware 8.0.3
software. However, if I try to encrypt the file with PGP freeware, the
encrypted output produced by my code doesnt match in size to the
encrypted file produced by PGP freeware 8.0.3.

  My input file size is 12kb , size of output produced by my code :
16kb
  size of output producded by PGP s/w : 3kb.

Any pointers into this would be apprecited,as I would like to use my
code encrypt very large files.

Here is the code I am using for PGP encryption.

/*the code  below has been stripped of exception handling code*/
         
           PGPKeyBundle bundle = null;
           MessageFactory messageFactory;

               bundle = readKeyFile(keyFile);

           LiteralMessage litmsg;
           String msg = new String();

              java.io.BufferedReader in = new
java.io.BufferedReader(new
              java.io.FileReader(new java.io.File(textFile)));

          String line = null;

          while ((line=in.readLine()) != null) {
                   msg = msg.concat(line);
                   msg = msg.concat("\n");
          }

          in.close();

          LiteralMessageBuilder lmb = LiteralMessageBuilder.getInstance
              ("OpenPGP");

          lmb.init(msg);

          litmsg = (LiteralMessage) lmb.build();

         
             EncryptedMessageBuilder encryptedMessageBuilder =
             EncryptedMessageBuilder.getInstance("OpenPGP");
         encryptedMessageBuilder.init(litmsg);
         encryptedMessageBuilder.addRecipient(bundle);
             message = encryptedMessageBuilder.build();
   
             PGPArmouredMessage armoured;

             armoured = new PGPArmouredMessage(message);
             FileOutputStream out = new
FileOutputStream(encryptedFile);
             out.write(armoured.getEncoded());
         out.close();

TIA
