Get zip-crypt_*.deb and unzip-crypt_*.deb.

You should find that they will also work on PKZip encrypted files. I
presume that they have no trouble with later (windoze) versions of PKZip -
I've yet to encounter a (zip) file that they could not extract from unless
that file was corrupted.

You should be able to source the files from one or more of the following
sites:

	non-us.debian.org	- in Germany (I think)
	mirror.aarnet.edu.au	- here in Oz
	debian.vicnet.net.au	- in Vic, here in Oz
	ftp.au.debian.org	- in WA (I think), here in Oz

No doubt there are a hundred other plces as well.
