>&#13;          GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP
          Internet standard as described in RFC2440.
          Because GnuPG does not use any patented algorithm it cannot be compatible with PGP2 versions. PGP 2.x uses only <SPAN
CLASS="acronym"
>IDEA</SPAN
> (which is patented worldwide) and <SPAN
CLASS="acronym"
> RSA</SPAN
> (which is patented in the United
          States until Sep 20, 2000).

>&#13;          You must decompress the tarball to compile, it is a good idea to make a list of files on the system before you install it, and one afterwards, and then compare them using diff to find out what file it placed where. Simply
          run <B
CLASS="command"
>find</B
> <TT
CLASS="userinput"
><B
>/* &#62; GnuPG1</B
></TT
> before and <B

>find</B
> <TT

>/* &#62; GnuPG2</B

>diff</B
> <TT
CLASS="userinput"
><B
>GnuPG1 GnuPG2 &#62; GnuPG-Installed</B
></TT

          to get a list of what changed.
