I don't know abou that, as I have not generated a new key pair. The man
page does not indicate any commands specific to "RSA".
I do know that I can now verify email signed with an RSA key, which was my
main interest in 1.0.3.

I have not changed it in the least. However, I have had no reason to do
so. Perhaps someone who uses an RSA-only version of PGP would ask me to do
so, then I would have to dink with it. Or tell them to upgrade to GPG. :-)

Sorry, no ideas here.
