Hi Jimbok, I don't want to crack the file!
Please see a clearer explanation of what I want in the post I made to
Dave Turner in this thread. <news:Xns97E81AE10E52F8FCE1@127.0.0.1>
It is because AES is so good that I am using it to encrypt the file.
However I need a freeware util for my recipient to be able to open it
using my password. Seems they have trouble using whatever zip util
it is that they have on their machine.
