No. Even PGP is bit dubious. I tried to use i with my Windows 2000,
but the one persons GnuPG public keys I'd might have actually
needed didn't import to my Freeware PGP at all. With other GnuPG keys I
also had
problems, with errors reported when importing them.
I tested also with Windows 98, and same there. Non GnuPG keys
seem to import without a fuss.
