Exporting GnuPG-secret-key to PGP 6.5 (Windows NT)
Hello!

I am using GnuPG 1.0.2 on my Linux-box at home. At work I must work with a
WindowsNT-box. I tried to export my GnuPG-secret-key (with gpg --armor
--export-secret-key <uid>). But PGP always says "invalid key". On the web I
found an article that suggested to remove the passphrase before exporting
the secret-key. But that did not work.

What is my fault (besides using Windows ;-) )?

Please CC me your answer, because I am not subscribed to this list.

Thanks in advance
Thomas

I asked the same question, and answer is :

gpg --export-secret-key --s2k-cipher-algo=CAST5 --s2k-digets-algo=SHA1 --no-comment <ID> > key.asc
gpg --export --s2k-cipher-algo=CAST5 --s2k-digets-algo=SHA1 --no-comment <ID> >> key.asc

under, windows, DnD key.asc in your key manager and that should be enough :)
