program was imported into the U.S.A, it could not be

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.
