This doesn't seem to be the case.  My tests of running 1.3.92 on a floppy without the
iconv.dll on the machine or the floppy showed that gpg couldn't access the key
rings, and logically couldn't encrypt or decrypt anything.

Any command which involves access to the key rings gives the error message
gpg: error loading 'iconv.dll' ec:126
and then gpg stops.

That indeed solves the problem, but whether it's possible to write to rhe usual
DLLPATH on a public machine is another matter.
