I looked at it briefly. It refers to PGP 2.x and I was asking about
PGP 5.x (which is why I repeatedly specified that version number). I
am not concerned with compatibility with "old" versions of PGP.

I am asking if GnuPG is able to properly exchange signed and/or
encrypted messages with PGP 5.x. Can it?

I also saw this document but it starts with this disclaimer:

Note: THIS INFORMATION ONLY APPLIES TO
PRE-1.0 VERSIONS OF GNUPG

I understood that GnuPG 1.0 and even newer versions have been
released so I assumed that the information in that document was now
irrelevant. In fact, it is based on the use of "gpg (GNUPG) 0.4.0;
Copyright (C) 1998..." That makes the document at least 1.25 years
old.

Now I'm really starting to wonder if I am missing something obvious
since you replied to my message but ignored my main questions.

To repeat:

Can GnuPG properly exchange signed and/or encrypted messages with PGP
5.x?
