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].

       -e     Encrypt a plaintext file.

       -d, -p Decrypt a plaintext file.

       -s     Sign a plaintext file.

       -c     Use convential cryptography when encrypting.

       -o     Output to the file specified. Should only be used for  encryption,  decryption  and
