Available for anonymous FTP: the encryption code for ZIP 1.0

	ftp.win.tue.nl:/pub/compression/zip/zcrypt10.zip

This ftp site is located in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

From the Readme file (please read this if you are a US citizen)

[...]

This encryption code is not copyrighted and is put in the public domain. It
was originally written in Europe and can be freely distributed from
any country except the U.S.A. If this code is imported in the U.S.A,
it cannot be re-exported from the U.S.A to another country. (This
restriction might seem curious but this is what US law requires.)

[...]

This means you can ftp it from the Netherlands but you may NOT put it in a
public place in the US (an anonymous ftp site for example) if you are a US
citizen.

The code is written by Jean-loup Gailly.
