I've searched archives etc. but found no mention of this. Does anyone know of a zip-like program with a GUI interface which can seamlessly handle file encryption? Under W*nd*ws, I used Winzip a lot, not so much for it's compression, but because it was about the only method I could find of getting files encrypted. I know this functionality exists in the Infozip programs, but these have no GUI, and the compression and encryption methods are, I think, considered quite weak these days. So I'm looking for a Linux replacement with modern methods. I may consider writing one if there's nothing around. Anyone have any interest in such a product? Cheers, TonyB

File Roller (part of Gnome2, under the Accessories menu entry) will use passwords, and supports a wide range of archive formats including zip. I don't know of others, because that's the one I found first and use, because it's easy and works :-) HTH John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Knossos: escape the ever-changing labyrinth before the Minotaur catches you!

------------------------- TonyB Have you looked at karchiver or archiever or ark or krusader for doing compressed files? They all support several different types of compression techniques.
