Hi Phillip, You should be able to get the desired effect without changing the tool: instead, create a symlink in a directory that is earlier than that of gpg (e.g., in your ~/bin directory) that is named "gpg" and that points to the program you want to use in its place. Then it should just work. The trouble with hard-coding a version number in the name of the tool is that many are already using a "gpg" that is version 2, and may not have the "2"-suffixed name around at all.
