Maybe there are others?

I threw together a quick command-line en/decrypt tool as a CLI wrapper around
the cryptlib API when I got frustrated with how complex GPG was to use, so
there's at least one more, built purely as a CLI-around-an-API app.

Thanks for the observation, Peter.  Does this have a name, or published
documentation someplace?  A direct pointer would be helpful!

It doesn't really have a name (I just called the binaries "pgpencrypt" and
"pgpdecrypt") or even a public presence, it's just a quick wrapper for a
handful of library calls.  I commented on it to point out that you can turn a
library/API into a CLI application with very little work, since the topic of
building an app from an API had come up.

Peter.
