RE: [Users] PKCS#12 certificates?

FWIW the OpenSSL toolkit works beautifully on windows machines
(www.openssl.org), and can also generate PKCS #12. Binaries that work under
windows can be readily obtained from cygwin (www.cygwin.com and hit `install
now', or just compile from site source. The command you want is (also works
on linux with appropriate package installed):

openssl pkcs12 -in mycert.pem -inkey mykey.pem -export -out mypair.pfx

You should then be able to just import this in W2K by double clicking it.
