PGP Commandline 9.0 is what I saw reference to.

I believe it has.  See:

    http://www.pgp.com/products/commandline/index.html
    
And the cost is astronomical, IMO.  The quote from their store:

    PGP Commandline 9.0, Perpetual License W/ SI - 2 Processors, 1
    Key, Send and Receive Functionality

    $3,170.00   QTY: 1
