As you see from the replies in the thread, there don't seem to be any
PGP implementations in ANS-Forth.

8th has a lot of crypto primitives built-in, so though it also doesn't
have any PGP implementation, it would at least be feasible to write one
in a reasonable amount of time.

However, it would probably be a better use of time and resources to
simply hook the GPG easy library (whatever it's called, I forget).  As
others have already said, the PGP format is very complex, and a mistake
in implementing it will almost certainly weaken the crypto-system.
