SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

   This manual page documents briefly the gpg-zip command.

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

   -d, --decrypt
          Decrypt data.

   -c, --symmetric
          Encrypt with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase.  The default
