Subjecthow to find which pgp version?
Message-ID<o7qiss$1b3b$1@adenine.netfront.net>
Hello all,
I recently installed LinuxMint 17 and PGP, but I can't find which 
version of PGP i have. Naturally, i tried "PGP -v" but receive an error. 
Also, it refuses all commands starting with "--", i.e. "--version". Also 
is missing "man pgp". Anyway, I think that David's site 
<http://www.rossde.com/PGP/pgp_encrypt.html> is extremely useful, and 
I'll probably study it in days to come.

Thanks,
Mileking

     My version acts like yours regarding those operands.  However,
the first line of output (before the error messages) includes the
version number, and the next line includes the copyright date.

On a linux system, why not use gpg instead? I don't know about Mint,
but Mageia has gnupg and gnupg2 available in it's repositories.

This GPG thing really works ! Here is output from my "gpg --version":
