PKZIP claims to support X.509 certificate sign/encrypt support, and I don't recall seeing that in Info-zip. I would recommend use of TAR + GZ or possibly TAR + BZ2 instead. If signing/encryption of data is required, use OpenPGP or S/MIME (PKCS#7). /Simon _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
