Symmetric Encryption Requirement

[Mark Jacobs]

We have a need for either 

1) GNUPG needs to be able to Symmetricly encrypt a file with 
triple DES and write the key used to a separate file (in clear text) 
and the encrypted data to a different file.

2) Strip out the encrypted key from an PGP/GNUPG encrypted file
and write this key to a different file in clear text.

Reason, we have files sent to us that have been encrypted by PGP
using symmetric encryption and we want to be able to decrypt the
data using mainframe(S/390) based triple DES decryption.

The mainframe doesn't know anything about encrypted keys protected
by a pass phrase, it just wants the encrypted data and the key used
to encrypt the file.

Thanks for your assistance.
