Then you know wrong.

GPG is quite content with PGP5 messages out of the box.  For PGP2 (ie,
RSA/IDEA), you can download and install the correct modules for GPG and
it will be glad to work with those.  (Though it will probably refuse to
accept some keys that are not self-signed, since PGP2 allowed creation
of such, but then such keys are not secure anyway, and people shouldn't
trust them.)
