Hi
Request list members to help me with _command_line_ tips on how to migrate
keys from PGP (6.5.x CKT) to GPG 1.4.9.
Is the converse possible i.e. send keys from GPG 1.4.9. to PGP (6.5.x CKT)
I work on a Windows XP environment . I do _not_ use any GPG front ends
regards
maniams

The shift from single keypairs to multiple keypairs was motivated by a
lot of concerns. IMO, most of those concerns failed to materialize.

Tanks David and Robert for your informative (and quick) replies. It's
much more clear now. But, am I the only one to think that the
documentation is pretty misleading about "pairs" of keys, and that GPG
generate 'a' keypair (With gpg --gen-key a new key-pair is
created...), and moreover, that one o
