Hi, sorry, the man page in GnuPG is not very usable (more or less empty) Please get the correct one from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/gpg.1.gz and install it either manually or copy it over the one in the package before you do the make install. I apologize for this inconvenience, Werner -- Werner Koch at guug.de www.gnupg.org keyid 621CC013
