Werner / Everyone,

    Well, I just got finished with the decryption (GPG 1.2.2) - it 
failed again:

            :symkey enc packet: version 4, cipher 3, s2k 3, hash 2
                salt 50cddd890017df06, count 96

            gpg: CAST5 encrypted data
                :encrypted data packet:
                length: unknown
            :compressed packet: algo=1
            :literal data packet:
                mode b, created 1055599766, name="Software.tar",
                raw data: 4033946112 bytes
            gpg: original file name='Software.tar'
            gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=1b)
            :unknown packet: type 59, length 57
            dump: 3e 88 e4 ad f0 fd f8 18  04 3d 3e 57 3d 9f d7 7b  14 
3e 1f 5f 88 b0 db bd
              24: 48 1e 82 57 c7 57 23 c2  41 f2 0e f1 f6 8f e2 df  05 
7a 7c fb a8 3f 17 0d
              48: de 1f 3f 4f 7c 46 e5 0f  4f
            gpg: onepass_sig with unknown version 234
            gpg: decryption okay
            gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected
            gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=3a)

    Any ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance,
