Here's some information I received from Graham, one of our former
users:
=========Start==============
The current Windows version of GnuPG is run on the command line and
has no keyserver access, so its necessary to run a version of PGP with
the NAI GUI along side it, just for keyserver support. However, if,
like me, you don't want to use PGP 7.0, GnuPG will recognise all
messages encrypted and signed by PGP 5.x to PGP 7.0, as well as GnuPG
(for patent reasons allied to its "non-commercial" philosophy, IDEA as
originally devised by RSA is not supported by GnuPG, and that in
essence means no PGP 2.6.x support).
WinPT is simply installed in your c:\Windows directory; when run it
appears as an icon in your system tray. I've put it in my startup
menu, and it sits beside my PGPtray icon on startup.
Should any Batties receive a GnuPG encrypted/signed message, WinPT
will verify and decrypt it, and any TB user not having PGP 7.0 will
find GnuPG can do the same using WinPT for PGP 7.0. It recognises
both Twofish and AES Rijndael algorithms, for instance.
Using GnuPG is not the easiest thing in the world, but made very much
easier with WinPT, and I'll be happy to help anybody wishing to try it.
======End=====================
Things may have improved since then since this message was sent to me
in Nov 2000. WinPT may have improved since then.
