	No, no... either google or dejasearch (the ultimate perl
program) ;)

	Yeah, some contributed modules are available for those two
algorithm (I believe there's another one for some exotic DES). You
download the c source code, and put it into gpg's library directory. You
then need to put something in your startup file... Can't remember what.

	On your note on pgp (deleted too early!), what's the point of
using pgp if you are already happy with gpg? I'm not sure what stuff pgp
implements these days, but it should pretty much be the same or am I
mistaken?
