Okay, with GPG->PGP5, I'm seeing the following...
| [thorin:~] 5:57:07pm 198 % gpg -s -e -r 88322B51 testc
| gpg (GnuPG) 0.4.2; Copyright (C) 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

|
| You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
| user: "brian moore <bem at cmc.net>"
| (1024-bit DSA key, ID 88322B51, created 1998-10-17)
|
| gpg: using secondary key 272B34B6 instead of primary key 88322B51
| File 'testc.gpg' exists. Overwrite (y/N)? y
| [thorin:~] 5:57:55pm 199 %
| [thorin:~] 5:57:56pm 199 %
| [thorin:~] 5:57:56pm 199 % pgpv testc.gpg
| Message is encrypted.
| Need a pass phrase to decrypt private key:
| 1024 bits, Key ID 272B34B6, Created 1998-10-17
| Enter pass phrase:
| Pass phrase is good.
| Cannot decrypt message. It can only be decrypted by:
| 1024 bits, Key ID 272B34B6, Created 1998-10-17
It looks like a deviation between PGP5 and GPG on how to mark things.
Has anyone looked at this code, or shall I have another fun weekend? :)
[Though this is pushing me closer towards exporting laws, I may have to
cheat to do it... Canadians are useful 'munitions runners'... :)]
