DESCRIPTION
       zipcloak encrypts all unencrypted entries in the zip-
       file. This is the default action.
 
 
       The -d option is used to decrypt encrypted entries in
       the zipfile.
 
 
       zipcloak uses original zip encryption which is consid-
       ered weak.
 
 
       Note: The encryption code of this program is not copy-
              righted 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 sup-
       ported.
 
       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.
