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 do-
main. 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 sin-
gle-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.
