produced, ie:
1] open terminal and cd to the directory where you saved the .txt attachment
2] gpg -a --sign fedora-icla-karl.txt
3] fedora-icla-karl.txt.asc should now be in the same directory

Hi,
I believe that would have been my fault, I did not realise you could
use -a instead of "--armor", so when I couldn't find "-a" I
