Well, I'm stupid. I encrypted some personal files in a .ZIP before leaving on a trip. Two weeks later, I've forgotten the key (thought I would remember it- Murphy's Law). So, is there any little utility or trick to recover the archive, or should I keep guessing? I am using Pkzip 1.1 with the USA encryption. Mark
