There is a special packet, the Marker Packet (tag 10) >which basically exists to make PGP 2.x print out "You need a newer >version of PGP" before PGP 2.x would blow up. on this note, i was recently playing with a 64 bit vista laptop, and couldn't get my portable pgp 2.x to initiate. (Disastry's version) the dos pgp window command line just opened and immediately closed i was using the 16 bit dos build, and didn't switch yet to the 32 bit win build how does gnupg manage to maintain 16, 32, 64 bit hardware independence?
