SYNOPSIS
pgpgpg [options] pgpfilepgpgpg -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.
