PGP-6.5.2

[M Taylor]

What I did to export a secret key from GPG 1.0.1 (Linux) to PGP 6.5.1i
(Linux) is

gpg --s2k-cipher-algo=CAST5 --s2k-digest-algo=SHA1 --compress-algo=1
--edit-key keyid

> passwd
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Michael C Taylor <mctaylor@glyphmetrics.ca>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 56B435B4, created 1999-09-09

Enter the new passphrase for this secret key.

[hit enter twice]

You don't want a passphrase - this is probably a *bad* idea!

Do you really want to do this? y
                                
Command> save

gpg --export-secret-key --no-comment -a keyid >keyid_secert.asc

pgp -ka keyid_secert.asc

wipe keyid_secert.asc
wipe keyid_secert.asc



[Now restore passphrases!!]

pgp -ke keyid
gpg --edit-key keyid
> passwd
> save
