          any  country  including the U.S.A.  (Previously if this
          program was imported into the U.S.A, it  could  not  be
          re-exported  from  the  U.S.A to another country.)  See

BUGS

     Large files (> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported.

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