gpg - PGP compatibility ?

I'm having a different problem from GnuPG 1.0.7 to PGP 6.5.8.  Their end
does not error out, it writes a file, but the output file is identical to
the encrypted file I send them.

We had a problem receiving files from them (unknown packets) until we
discovered that their mainframe was adding about 80 bytes of data to the
file.

As for Rick's problem, wonder if GPG is using a compression algo that PGP
doesn't handle well.  Can you try it without any compression?

We are having intermittent problems with files encrypted using GPG 1.0.6
being sent to another party using PGP 6.5.  They get PGP errors every once
and a while that say "problem expanding" data.

Has anyone seen a similar problem?
