Hi Tigran!

> My name is Tigran and I have some issue ...
> On my system (Linux RH9 2.4.29) I'm using gpg (GnuPG) 1.2.1 with zlib-1.1.4-8.  But when I'm tring to decrypt files which was encrypted with public and private keys it get me this error message:
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

> After this it creates a file Test.xls, but it has very small size and I can't open it 'cause it's damaged.

Personally, I've never encountered this problem, but maybe this helps you 
to solve it...
