That might have been the case for the version one revisions, but when they got to version two the encryption method changed. To get into them now requires brute force. I have to wonder at which search engine the original person was using. Typing "zip crack program" into Google give 37,100 hits, as well as a Password Recovery directory group. S/he *did* check the search engines first, didn't s/he?
