NAME
       gpg-zip - encrypt or sign files into an archive

SYNOPSIS
       gpg-zip  [OPTIONS]  filename1 [filename2, ...]  directory1 [directory2,
       ...]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the gpg-zip command.

       gpg-zip IS DEPRECATED.  PLEASE USE gpgtar(1) instead.

       gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive. It is an gpg-ized  tar
       using the same format as PGP's PGP Zip.

OPTIONS
       -e, --encrypt
              Encrypt  data. This option may be combined with --symmetric (for
              output that may be decrypted via a secret key or a passphrase).

       -d, --decrypt
              Decrypt data.

       -c, --symmetric
              Encrypt with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase.  The default
              symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the --ci-
              pher-algo option to gpg(1).

       -s, --sign
              Make a signature. See gpg(1).

       -r, --recipient USER
