      Long Description: PGP 5.0 contains support for new encryption methods (most notably DSS/Diffie-Hellman), and built-in keyserver support. Also, the command line has been redesigned to be more Unix and scripting friendly. Note: this software is old\; you probably want gnupg or gnupg2 instead.

      pre-fetch {
      return -code error "PGP will only build on PowerPC Macs. Try gnupg instead."
