DESCRIPTION

       gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive.  It is an gpg-ized tar using the same format as used by PGP's PGP Zip.

       --decrypt

       -d     Decrypt data.

       --symmetric

       -c     Encrypt  with  a	symmetric  cipher  using  a  passphrase.   The	default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the
	      --cipher-algo option to gpg.

       --sign

       -s     Make a signature.  See gpg.

       -o file
	      Write output to specified file file.
