pgp658ckt08.exe

I unzipped that packet then double clicked pgp658ckt08.zip.sig and
used my friend's PGP 8.1 in an attempt to to verify the integrity of
the file called pgp6.5.8ckt08.zip. I received notification that Imad
Faiad's signature for the ZIP file is BAD. Thinking I may have done
something wrong, I repeated the process. In fact I repeated it several
times and was always told that his signature is bad.
Did I do something wrong or is the signature for that ZIP file
really bad? And if it is bad, where can I find a reliable version of
pgp658ckt08.exe?
Can anyone tell me where I can find a .SIG file that will use
Imad's public key (0x833F1BAD) to verify either pgp6.5.8ckt08.zip or
pgp658ckt08.exe?
Thanks,

Sorry, I get the same results. I'm betting that Imad screwed up and
signed a zip file, then added the detatched signature to the zip file
he'd just signed, thus wrecking the hash. The signature is
pgp658ckt08.ZIP.sig, where it should be pgp658ckt08.EXE.sig. If you
download build 7, the file is named properly and the signature matches.
You could always download and install 8, then put the build 9 beta patch
over top of that. The build 9 beta signatures all match.
It's too bad the ckt builds are no longer being maintained. I still
mourn that loss. Sometimes it seems he was the only developer who was
serious about security AND free (well, as in beer at least) software. I
get the extreme itch every now and again to make a 'ckt' version of
GnuPG. In the end I can't seem bring myself to do it, as I feel like it
would be putting on extreme airs to use 'ckt' myself.
C'est la vie. 
Kurt.

The corrected file was posted on Imad's site back in the day. It was
located at http://www.ipgpp.com/pgp658ckt08.exe.sig.txt. I don't know
where you could find it now.

you can download and install 9 beta 3 directly from here:
ftp://ftp.zedz.net/pub/crypto/pgp/pgp60/pgp658_ckt/
(click on the bottom line, pgp658ckt09b3.zip)
the sig file for pgp658ckt09b3.exe is in the zip file
and verifies for Imad's key
the 09 beta's were _beta's_ only in the sense that they were
made to deal with the gnupg secret key protection that was
instituted at the time,
but was not yet instituted by the official pgp builds,
secret keys that would be generated in 9 beta 3 would not be
able to be used in the earliest pgp 8 versions without a
workaround of removing the passphrase, ... , etc.
since pgp 8+, soon afterward, moved to the same newer secret
key protection,
then everything (gnupg and pgp 8+ ) was compatible with 9 beta
3
there was/is nothing else 'beta' about it,
and it is better than 8, if you want to be compatible with the
other implementations (gnupg and pgp 8+)
you can even choose sha-256 and all the algorithms including
blowfish
the 'only' thing that is a 'problem' in 9 beta 3
(and all the other 658ckt builds),
is that it will 'crash' if trying to verify clearsigned files
done with multple simultaneous signatures,
multiple simultaneous signatures in armored signed files, or
sign and encrypt files, are still ok)
caveat:
if you make a 'really large' key in (any) ckt version,
and then import it into official pgp 9 beta,
it will 'corrupt' the keyring, and disable signing
in official pgp 9 beta
(everything will go back to normal once you delete the key from
the keyring)
