   The issue I am having is using the tool I have come across to do just that.   
   Use my Private key to encrypt something that can be unlocked by the PUBLIC   
   key. It would appear gpg4win does not allow this and in a way I can   
   understand why as it flys in the face of what I think the PUBLIC vs PRIVATE   
   keys are to be used for (I think)
