Selecting cipher to generate a key pair

[Smith, Cathy]

My apologies to the group.  I meant to say	
	gpg --gen-key

I have a customer who can not accept our pgp public key.  They are
asking for a specific cipher to be used in generating the public key.
After some reading yesterday, it seemed that gpg might be the solution. 

I don't have any experience with gpg, and limited pgp experience.  


Regards,


Cathy

Subject: Selecting cipher to generate a key pair

Is it possible to select a specific cipher, such as Triple-DES or
Blowfish, to use to generate a key pair?

I've read email posted in the archives, and FAQ that indicates this is
possible.  I don't see an option to do that just running
	pgp --gen-key

Thanks.
