I believe that PGP 5.0/5.0i is the MINIMUM BASIC version of the software
that
end-users should use. That version is available for IBM PC-DOS/MS-DOS,
and
supports CAST/Diffie-Hellman, as well as IDEA/RSA algorithms and
protocols.
BTW: Why was Radix-64 developed; and what are the problems of having
ciphertext
output as a hexadecimal file?

You could at least mark it 'obsolescent'. ;-)
