Re: Self Decrypting Archive using a Pass Phrase

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would 7-zip work for you?  It's open source, and provides 256-bit AES 
encryption support.

I managed to get it to work under IBM i (tested on V5R4) in PASE. 
Details of that can be found here:

I haven't used it in production, however, just in some proof-of-concept 
things, and it seemed to work.  I don't know if it's suitable for your 
purposes, but might be worth looking at.
