EDIT: I changed whole question.

Ok, I know all I need exept:

How to make PGP8 compatible sigantures using GnuPG 1.2.2-generated key pair (ElGlamal/DSA)?

How to check with what algo my private key is encrypred and how to change this algo and will such change affect my fingerprint?

I have kgpg installed and the gui is very simple to use. But that's for linux only.

About compatibility: I generated RSA keypair some time ago with PGP (I think it was pgp 6) under windows and I easily imported it to gpg under linux. Probably it should work other way too.

Is that true that patents for RSA expired?

Yes. Years ago.

ok, if you don't have a front-end or don't want to use it, take a look at the manual or something. In man gpg it says to use:

--gen-key option to generate keys

--pgp2 for "as PGP 2.x compliant as possible"

--pgp7 "as PGP 7 compliant as possible", ... ", and the list of allowable ciphers is expanded to add AES128, AES192, AES256, and TWOFISH."

I didn't find anything about SHA-256, only SHA-1
