Well, that is very interesting...I used PGP many, many years ago but thought it had bitten the dust a while back. Not sure I would use it now as things have much improved over the old days in terms of how one can secure data/communications...there are so many player now in the market...and a copmmandline tool would not be my first choice.
But good to see that it is still around and therefore people who want/need to use it.
