I still use the 2.63i for Yarn and Potato, and 5.5.3i for Eudora. However
I looked at 5.0ibi due to your request and the fact that is the latest
version available for Linux.
Have you manually copied:
config.txt -> pgp.cfg
pubring.pgp -> pubring.pkr
secring.pgp -> secring.skr

PGP5.0i can be called in various ways. I renamed pgp.exe to pgpo.exe.
This is supposed to allow the pgp2.6.3 calling syntax, but it appears
to be buggy. In particular, the line in the yarn user's CONFIG:
#encrypt=command.com /c %d\pgpe.bat %o -aest %f
needs to be changed to:
encrypt=command.com /c %d\pgpe.bat %o -aest %f -r
Personally, I'd use -aet rather than -aest because the "s" (sign) will
reveal your identity. If you're posting anonymously, that's a BAD
thing, and it's easy to forget that Yarn's "Encrypt" menu choice
is really "Encrypt & Sign."
I got tired of messing with it and didn't test the decrypt and view.
You'll probably need to fiddle with the calls a bit.
You can see the %o, %f, et cetera by changing pgpe.bat to:
@echo off
echo %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
pause
h:\pgp5i\pgpo %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
pause
copy %3.asc %1
del %3.asc
The echo and pause lets you see what gets passed. Change the path
to suit. Note the call is to pgpo, not to pgp.
