Password protect a zip file

Hi,

I'm working on Solaris 9 and i need to unzip a password protected zip, which i can do using

zip -Ppassword filename

however when i have done what i need to do with the file is to zip the file back up with a password. Zip on my system is version 2.3 and does not support this?

How can i do this?

Thanks

NAME
zip2st - a program for converting .zip archives to Atari .st disk images SYNOPSIS
zip2st srcname.zip [dstname.st] DESCRIPTION
zip2st can be used to convert a .zip file to a .st disk image. If the destination filename is not given, use the name of the .zip file, without the extension, and save it in the current working direc- tory. Any single directories (other than 'auto') at root of the zip archive are traversed down to avoid adding redundant intermediate directories from the zip file to the generated disk image. The .st disk image is a raw disk image, and can be written to a floppy using dd(1) or converted to .msa disk image with hmsa(1). The contents of the uncompressed zip file need to be smaller than 2.88MB (the largest floppy image size supported by Hatari). SEE ALSO
hmsa(1), atari-hd-image(1), hatari(1), unzip(1), mtools(1), dd(1). AUTHOR
