export/import

We are evaluating whether to use PGP or GPG. One of the issues I'm facing is
how to get the two to play-nice together. I'm currently have trouble getting
PGP to cleanly import a gpg public key.

I executed
gpg --armor --output <filename> -export <userID>

When I try to import it and sign it in pgp, I get 'unknown type' and 'unable
to encrypt to key' messages.

Did I miss anything? Any ideas?

Wayne

i'm pretty sure you need the '--no-comment' tag.
so try...
gpg --armor --no-comment --output <whatever> --export <userid>
