NAME
       pgpgpg  -  wrapper around Gnu Privacy Guard that takes Pretty Good Pri‐
       vacy 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)  us‐
       ing  the  command  line options of (Pretty Good Privacy). PGP and GnuPG
       are encryption programms with high security encryption  engines.   How‐
       ever,   PGP  is available without a fee but is not realy free software.
       GnuPG  on  the other  hand  is  realy free software and  has  addition‐
       ally 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 +op‐
       tion[=value].

       -e     Encrypt a plaintext file.

       -d, -p Decrypt a plaintext file.

       -s     Sign a plaintext file.
              pgpgpg -s file [-u userid]

              given file.
              pgpgpg -sb file [-u userid]

       -c     Use convential cryptography when encrypting.

       -o     Output  to  the  file specified. Should only be used for encryp‐
              tion, decryption and signature operations (not for  key  manage‐
              ment).
