compatibility of Gnupg-1.4.9 to Gnupg-1.0.6

[rahul kaushik]

Hi All,
Thanks for your attention towards my problem.
One thing that i still would like to know about gpg is
Is it possible for me to use keyring and trustdb of Gnupg-1.4.9  while using
Gnupg-1.0.6. can keyring generated ( using --gen-key ) by Gnupg-1.4.9 be 
used with gnupg-1.0.6.


What i think, it may not be possible to convert keyring or trustdb from
upper version ( 1.4.9 ) 
 to keyring of lower version ( 1.0.6 ).

Please correct me if i am wrong.


Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Kaushik
