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.
