OK - now I remember why 7-zip does not work for me. The command line version requires me to embed the password in my code and the GUI version does not support passwords. However, I found I have a copy of WinZip32 from 1998 that does just what I need.
I still would like to get a version that I could drive from J which would give me finer control so I could do something like encrypt the file before I zip it with a password.
