No, it's dead, and was written in the days of PGP 2.6.2.  The file
format has changed subsequently, so the code would need to be updated
to match the latest OpenPGP RFC.

It's probably best to use GnuPG with its --batch flag, which causes it
to output lines which can be readily parsed by another program.  I
have a partially written class for GnuPG that supports verifying, but
I still need to finish the other 3 functions.
