No, download an old copy of gpg or pgp2.3 and decrypt it.
I oppose that.
One important use case for PGP is to sign binary blobs in archives in order
to verify their integrity. (take for instance the distribution of software)
Requiring the user to stick with old, unmaintained software (which might not
even run on it's current system and can't be compiled for the new
environment) is a no go.
