GnuPG doesn't handle filenames?

There is a bug in some versions of gpg4win.  The gpg you use is actually
a wrapper which invokes the real gpg.  We do this to selective add only
required programs to the PATH.  Use

  gpg --version --version

to see the real filename of gpg; for example:

  C:\tmp>gpg --version --version
  gpgwrap (Gpg4win) 1.9.0-svn558 ;C:\Programme\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe
  gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.7

So either update gpg4win or use

  C:\Progamme\GNU\GnuPG\gpg --clearsign test.txt

or wherever the real binary is installed.  Note that gpg4win 1.9 is
development only and should not be used.  The bug is fixed since 1.1.2.


Salam-Shalom,
