10 Are these versions of PGP mutually compatible?

Yes. For example, a document encrypted with PGP on a PC
can be decrypted with someone using PGP on a Unix
machine.

As of September 1, 1994, Versions 2.6 and higher can read
previous versions. However, pre-2.6 versions can no
longer read the newer versions. I strongly recommend that
everyone upgrade to Versions 2.6.2 or 2.7.
