Hello--

I'm a new linux gpg-1.0.6 user.

I've read in other GPG public keys in this format with no problem, 
but I have a key from a PGP user that will not read in. 

I thought it might be the rsa or idea extensions, but have located and
installed the extensions, with no change in behavior.

[594]/tmp Yes, Master? gpg --import key1
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

And here's the contents of 'key1':

So, is gpg not able to handle keys from pgp 7.0.3? Am I missing
something?

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
