Indeed, and in two places. I've fixed it. Thanks!

aespipe -e aes256 -K keys.enc.sym plain.txt

should be

aespipe -d -e aes256 -K keys.enc.sym plain.txt

gpg --batch --yes --no-use-agent --passphrase "passwd" --symmetric --cipher-algo AES192 --output encrypted.enc my-rawfile.txt

Thanks for sharing your findings!

I just found this useful exchanging files with a Windows user who's corporate standard was AES256/zip. Decrypt was obvious, but encrypt wasn't quite so, when I came to give data back:-

$ 7z a -mem=AES256 -p archive.zip foo bar

Without the -mem flag it seemed to apply some simplistic method which meant regular 'unzip' could open (when given the right password). Whereas unzip whinged uniformly, just like when I received the original archive

$ unzip archive.zip
#Archive: archive.zip
# skipping: foo need PK compat. v5.1 (can do v4.5)
# skipping: bar need PK compat. v5.1 (can do v4.5)

I think the GNOME File Roller utility might hide much of the details for GNOME users, but ark under KDE misses an AES256 for regular zip archives option.
