======================

unless it's an ancient version of PGP(tm) it should auto-magically handle
other algorithms. from the OpenPGP spec:
   Implementations MUST implement Triple-DES. Implementations SHOULD
   implement IDEA and CAST5. Implementations MAY implement any other
   algorithm.

IDEA is the *only* symmetric algorithm mentioned in the spec that gpg
doesn't handle "out of the box." you can use: 3DES (168), CAST5 (128),
blowfish (128), AES-128, AES-192, AES-256, twofish (256).

	"They tell us that we live in a great free republic;
	 that our institutions are democratic; that we are
	 a free and self-governing people. That is too much,
	 even for a joke. Wars throughout history have been
	 waged for conquest and plunder. And that is war in
	 a nutshell. The master class has always declared
	 the wars; the subject class has always fought the
	 battles."
