Aha! Therein lies a tale. I must confess that I have this problem with a Windows version. gpg itself works fine on my NT box but I think the shell is doing wierd things when I try to cat files. gpg --export --output foo works fine but gpg --export > foo doesn't. The same goes for appending the export output to a file or appending a file to another. From minimal research, what I think is happening is that cmd seems to be replacing all 0xa characters with the 0xd 0xa sequence. Its not a problem really as long as I don't depend on cmd to do the appending for me. But I was just wondering if there was already a way to export both kinds of keys to the same file.
