[NTLUG:Discuss] my bad - my real subject is security in tar or gzip or something like that

[George Lass]

man zip.....

       -e     Encrypt the contents of the  zip  archive  using  a
              password  which  is  entered  on  the  terminal  in
              response to a prompt (this will not be  echoed;  if
              standard  error is not a tty, zip will exit with an
              error).  The password prompt is  repeated  to  save
              the user from typing errors.
