Thanks... I'll see if I can get the vendor to add --textmode to their encryption process.

Unix machines use LF, Windows uses CRLF, etc. GPG has built-in support for handling this confusion, but you have to tell it that the input file is text. So, on the *encrypting* side, add "--textmode" to the command, and that will tell GPG to store things appropriately, and the decrypting side will recognize this and use the appropriate line endings in the resulting file.
