DESCRIPTION

   zipcloak encrypts all unencrypted entries in the zipfile.  This is  the
   default action.

   The -d option is used to decrypt encrypted entries in the zipfile.

   zipcloak uses original zip encryption which is considered weak.

   Note:  The  encryption  code  of this program is not copyrighted and is
          put in the public domain.  It was originally written  in  Europe
          and  can  be  freely  distributed from any country including the
          U.S.A.  (Previously if this program was imported into the U.S.A,
          it  could not be re-exported from the U.S.A to another country.)
          See the file README.CR included in the source  distribution  for
          more on this.  Otherwise, the Info-ZIP license applies.

EXAMPLES

   To be added.

BUGS

   Large files (> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported.

   Split  archives  not  yet  supported.   A work around is to convert the
   split archive to a single-file archive using zip and then use  zipcloak
   on  the single-file archive.  If needed, the resulting archive can then
   be split again using zip.
