Hi Rick,
What do you mean by "old" WinZip encrypted files?
I know that WinZip has a new file extension: "zipx" for advanced compression.

Are you saying it will open ALL WinZip 256-bit AES-encrypted files, but NOT "zipx" files, or that it will open only WinZip 256-bit AES-encrypted files created before a certain date?  

Thanks,
Anna

SecureZipExpress from PKware.

It is about 13m, totally free for home use, and opens my old
WinZip 256bit AES encrypted archives as if it made them itself.

Disclaimer: I had to apply for a D/L link with my e-mail address.
(A small price to pay since I have many of those...)
