i know only the name of the dish i have to serve but i am at this stage
clueless about what all ingredients are to be used to prepare it. shall i
learn windows programming, shall i learn vc++, once learnt do i have to
built a frontend and call functions from the existing gpg source code or
learn how to call a gpg commands from vc++. I had asked my guide ( senior)
but i am not getting clarity on the issue . i need some elaborate questions
to find answers on building frontend and a plugin for gpg. You can say a
little scope elaboration of this project is required .

now i am enclosing it below. tell me if i am going in the right direction .
