I appreciate the offer David, but I don't have PowerArchiver so I can't create a sample input file. The file I am trying to decrypt is coming from another source so I would have to get them involved in order to create a sample archive file. Because WinZip is compatible, I am able to open with PGP and then extract the individual files. The problem is specifically with GPG - and I am using that because PGP doesn't run in batch mode.
My original thought was that there must be something I was doing wrong when decrypting the file, but based on the feedback I am getting, and my review of available commands and options I doubt that is the issue. I think my next step will be to purchase PowerArchiver and experiment with that....see if I can open the output file with the same product used as the archive input file.

I'm not sure if that file is legal according to the OpenPGP spec. It depends on how it was packed together. If you can encrypt a sample file (using dummy data, but with the same number of text files) I would be happy to take a look at it and see what is happening internally to GPG.
