  Yes, people should stop using things that are seriously outdated and
proven unsafe.

  I was thinking about being able to access old data that was
encrypted with PGP 2.6 standad, not about creating new data using that
standard, so, *if possible*, it would be nice to have read-only
backward compatibility.

  And some time ago, I found an old QPro spreadsheet that had survived
somehow in a backup CD. I don't remember if I could open it. But I do
remember once I had to find a way to open a old ms-writer file I
needed to read.

  Best Regards
