                   ^^^^^^oh, oh ... this should have read "I believe"

I don't recall you saying so, I probably took some statements the wrong
way.  So, we might expect RSA integration in GnuPG in a probably not
so long future ... just *might*

While I believe there is very little reason for using pgp 2.x within the
*nix community, the truth is that there are still very many using it.
This is a bit of nonsense since gnupg has more support for those
environments than PGP right now.  But while there are still people using
pgp 2.x, the issue about the full compatibility of GnuPG with IDEA and RSA
remains.
