65 Note: The encryption code of this program is not copyrighted and is
66 put in the public domain. It was originally written in Europe
67 and can be freely distributed from any country including the
68 U.S.A. (Previously if this program was imported into the U.S.A,
69 it could not be re-exported from the U.S.A to another country.)
70 See the file README.CR included in the source distribution for
71 more on this. Otherwise, the Info-ZIP license applies.

81 Split archives not yet supported. A work around is to convert the
82 split archive to a single-file archive using zip and then use zipcloak
83 on the single-file archive. If needed, the resulting archive can then
84 be split again using zip.
