bad passphrase error passing it into GPG on Windows 98 using stdin

(hopefully this won't show up twice -- I accidentally sent the
previous one from the wrong address and it's being held for moderator
approval.)

Um, no.

Read up on the "<" operator.  Here's the information from the bash man
page:

   Redirecting Input
       Redirection of input causes the file whose name results from
       the expansion of word to be opened for reading on file
       descriptor n, or the standard input (file descriptor 0) if n is
       not specified.

       The general format for redirecting input is:

              [n]<word

HTH,
