Old software/source code should always be archived.
I am also concerned when new versions of security or
cryptography programs are introduced, especially if
the source code is unavailable. This problem is very
concerning when "subscription" and "live update" services
attempt to force increme

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the latest version of
gpg has a bug in that it doesn't supp

I've trimmed the Cc line a bit as this is now focussing more on GPG
and not adding any thing new technically for the excluded set.

Adam,
See Crypt::OpenPGP. http://rhumba.pair.com/ben/perl/openpgp/
It reads/writes PGP 2.x, 5.x and GNUPG compatible packets, autodetects
formats, contains support for almost all ciphers present in various
implementations of PGP.
cheers,

Getting caught in the upgrade scam is bad in itself.
Doing this with crypto software is sin.
There are no advances beyond 2.6.2 worth upgrading. If you must, use 5.5.3i and
enable only IDEA and RSA/compatible. 2.6.2 runs on dos, integrates with pegasus
on windoze, runs on unix and macs.
Also, a
