Since we can't use Gnozal's PureZIP lib anymore, can password support
please be added to the Packer lib so we can protect our archives? Ta.

and when doing so... support for ZIP > 2 GB would be very suitable too.

I don't see the point. Why not just use your own password routine and not unpack if it doesn't match?

Can you elaborate? I don't understand how that would work.
Are you saying we should encrypt each file manually before
adding to the archive? Where does the password get stored?

I supposed the people here wanted the same encryption used by zip 2.0 (since Gnozal's lib is mentioned) to have the files zip-compatible, even if the implementation of the algo is flawed (known plaintext attack).
