It isn't really outdated in the sense it was intended for -- orders before
the current route system. If you don't use the Route system, then it should
work as before. The PGP directive is ancient and deprecated. It will disappear
before long.

The vast majority of users do use the Route system, as it has been in
place since Minivend 4.0 and Interchange 4.5.x.

To do what you seem to want (encrypt the entire order) you just set in
catalog.cfg:

	EncryptProgram  pgp
	EncryptKey      orders@mdd.com

At that point, if you set in the Route:

	encrypt	    1
	credit_card 0

it should encrypt the entire order. If it doesn't, reply back with
details of your Route setting (and confirmation you unset PGP and
set EncryptProgram and EncryptKey as above).
