I think this is done, I run it through this in tryWriting():

            String fixed = PGPArmoury.fixLineEndings(data,
                                  System.getProperty("line.separator"));

Although I haven't tested the effect as yet...

Yes, I think this would count as something we'd want.

Hmm, I wouldn't swear to it but I thought this was done.
Maybe not.

Right, that's part of webfunds.ricardian.*

One of these two above is needed fairly quickly.  After that,
I'd say the following can come along as desired.

Nope, seems good, it's more or less flying at the moment,
I've stuck out the internal release, and I'll work through
the signing of contracts with DJ as he can schedule it.

Now, the next thing is a test contract.  There is a local
file g.loc and an operator key op.pub located at the
http://www.iang.net/ site, which should be all that is
needed for issuing zero sum contracts.

Marbles, anyone?

Is that deal for issuance of many marbles in exchange for
a web shop giving them away still on?  What I need is a shop
where anyone can click on a button and get a lump.  Thinking
about it, the easiest way to do it is:

    * write a WebFunds test program that produces a thousand
      payments in the currency, with no expiry time, for some
      value, and stores each in a file.

    * write a cgi/something shop that simply finds the next
      available file and prints it out in a c&p box, and then
      removes the file.  When it runs out of files, it mails
      the operator for some more.

Hey presto, a simple marbles shop with limited security equation.
