According to APPNOTE.TXT, "version needed to extract" (field) must be "5.1 or greater" to support AES. I don't know all the details. At one time I think both PKWARE and WinZIP both had competing encryption methods. It's not something I ever messed with. > 7-zip does, and a DOS port for FreeDOS is available. > > http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/7zip/4.65/ Don't use 4.65 unless you have a good reason. (It lacks anything about LZMA2, for instance.) The preferred version these days (according to http://www.7-zip.org ) is "9.20" (and some newer, buggier betas and alphas). So your choices in DOS are varied (but imperfect): 7ZA920.ZIP (Win32 console) + Japheth's HX, or kludgy DJGPP build of p7zip 9.20.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
