there is a free (for personal use) version at www.pgpi.com. 
also, this is the international version that was legaly exported from the
US.
apparently, ths US Export regulation restrict cryptographic software when
they come  as magnetic media or internet. this version was exported as
printed source code, which when arrived to europe was scanned,ocr'ed and
compiled making it legal to use outside US.
