winpgp 1.0 bugs

Is there a newer version of winpgp than 1.0? I've found what appears to be
several bugs in 1.0:
1) if I attempt to encrypt more than one file, winpgp says
"Illegal function call" and terminates.
2) if I encrypt a file with "Binary" checked, the resulting
file is named "<whatever>.PGP". If I attempt to decrypt
this .PGP file, winpgp will only allow me to encrypt .PGP
files, but not decrypt them.
3) if I encrypt a file with "ASCII" checked, the resultng
file is named "<whatever>.ASC". If I decrypt this file,
pgp gives me an error message (apparently pgp is being called
with the "-d" option). If I decrypt it by hand without the
"-d" option, PGP loses the file extension; i.e., XXX.DOC
encrypts to XXX.ASC, but decrypts to just XXX without the
.DOC extension.
I'm using pgp 2.6 and winpgp 1.0 running under windows 3.11 (workgroups).
Please email directly, as I don't have access to the list from work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance... :)
