As I understand it, the are two versions of pgp due to the US export
restrictions of RSA technology - the pgp-us version uses RSA and
shouldn't be used outside the US. pgp-i doesn't use RSA and can be
exported. The pgp5i package looks like a specific version for
international use. This is the gist of the info that I got from the
'official' Phil Zimmerman pgp website, as I remember it - some time ago
now. I can't remember the URL (www.pgp.com?- I'm not O/L at the moment
- dial-up charges - so I can't check) but I originally found it easily
enough through a search engine. Recommended site if you plan to use
pgp.
