IIRC the online help for PGP 8.x (licensed or freeware) has a pretty
good section on ADK. Note that you would have to explicitly specify this
type of key setup in order to get the key reconstruction capabilities -
it's important to note that it's not the default action. You're not
going to be able to take your data to a data recovery shop and pay them
big $$$ to "reconstruct" a key if you don't already have the
prerequisite # of key shares.
