AFAIK this is the latest PGP command line version available - except
for server based systems, which is why the cost is *astronomical*.

When Network Associates sold the rights to PGP to PGP Corporation, they
kept the rights to the command line version, and unless things have
changed this is why PGP Corporation don't offer it.

But why bother when there is GPG?
