Use in conjunction with "--with-colons" to get the output in a
different format, without spaces:-

 10MB.dat:2:8C206A1A87599F532CE68675536F0B1546900D7A:

I find the "--output <file>" option does not send the output of
"--print-md" to a file (for me, using GnuPG version 1.4.10 on Windows
XP). Is this intentional, anyone know?
