yes, you can, but you may have troubles with the comment packets that gpg puts in its secret key file. if you export your secret key using the - --no-comment option, you may be fine. You might be better off if you generate the key using pgp, then import it into gpg. - -- Brian Minton minton@csc.smsu.edu Caution: in case of rapture, this computer will be unoccupied!
