PGP >=5 can.  PGG 2 is hardwired to MD5, RSA and IDEA.  There is an
inofficial 2.6 version my disastry which allows for most of the
OpenPGP algorithms.

PGP >= 6.5.8 (or was it 6.5.3?) works fine althought it is not OpenPGP
compatible.

No.  I was just wondering how it is possible to build GnuPG on plain
VMS?
