what are you guys talking about??? AFAIK, the most current, released, version of PGP is 2.6.2. Version 3 is not finished and anything you may get your hands on is a prerelease version. PGP 4 and 5 simply don't exist!
PGP 4 is ViaCrypt's latest version of pgp. It has some features that pgp 2.6.* doesn't have.
From the User's Manual:
ViaCrypt PGP supports three types of keys:
Dual-Function Keys are keys that are interoperable and compatible with pre-4.0 versions of ViaCrypt PGP. They can be used for encryption/decryption and for digital signatures.
Single-Function, Encryption-Only Keys are keys that have been designated to be used for only encryption/decryption, and cannot be used for digital signatures.
Single-Function, Signature-Only Keys are keys that have been designated to be used for only digital signatures, and cannot be used for encryption/decryption. Single function keys are not usable by Version 2.7.1 or earlier.
There is also a "business edition" with still other featuers, namely a "Corporate Access Key".
