Todd Vierling 1b99fe2305 PGP 6.5.8, the last Unix command line version thus released officially.
Though GnuPG is available, this is useful for interoperability testing,
and where the user wishes to use a "real" PGP newer than hacked-5.0i.

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a public key encryption package to protect
E-mail and data files. It lets you communicate securely with people
you've never met, with no secure channels needed for prior exchange of
keys. It's well featured and fast, with sophisticated key management,
digital signatures, data compression, and good ergonomic design.
This is PGP 6.5.8, which brings back the classic PGP 2 command line
syntax, adds a few more encryption and digest algorithms, and fixes
miscellaneous problems in PGP 5.
