Does not seem to answer the question, and in fact suggests GnuPG is not supported?

One of our vendors specifically stated support for GPG using "DSA and Elgamal", GnuPG's Default is "DSA and Elgamal", and referencing Bruce's Applied Cryptography 2nd ed page 490 clearly states "ELGamal Encryption with DSA" is a legitimate "mixed mode" algorithm, and I've found a large number of confirming posts around the internet.

Again, am I to conclude Cryptlib does not support "DSA and Elgamal" and thus does not support GnuPG's default?

Or are you saying both of those options can be set for a single envelope?

Thanks

DSA is CRYPT_ALGO_DSA, Elgamal is CRYPT_ALGO_ELGAMAL.
