FWIW, RFC-1991 is not a complete specification of PGP-2.  You can't
implement a compatible version based on this info.  You also need to
look into the PGP-2 documentation and finally you need to be able to
send questions to another person who can provide an answer based on the
PGP-2 source code (which is public but due copyright reasons one
better does not do it by oneself).


Salam-Shalom,
