NAME

       pgpgpg - wrapper around Gnu Privacy Guard that takes Pretty Good Privacy command line options

SYNOPSIS

       pgpgpg [options] pgpfile

       pgpgpg -e [options] file user ...

DESCRIPTION

       PGPGPG  is  a wrapper that allows calls to GnuPG (Gnu Privacy Guard) using the command line options of (Pretty Good Privacy). PGP and GnuPG
       are encryption programms with high security encryption engines.	However,  PGP is available without a fee but is not realy  free  software.
       GnuPG  on  the other  hand  is  realy free software and has additionally features but with a different command line syntax than PGP.

       The  goal  of pgpgpg is to plug in a command line syntax in front of GnuPG equal to PGP 2.6.

OPTIONS

       The  following  options	are supported by pgpgpg notice that long options do not use the usual GNU syntax (--) but, instead are of the form
       +option[=value].

	      pgpgpg -sb file [-u userid]

       -c     Use convential cryptography when encrypting.
