Can solaris's Zip/Unzip handle Winzip Version 10.0 Files?

I understand that this version of Winzip allows 129-bit AES encryption and passwords. Can Solaris handle that yet?

This is a brand new extension to the zip file format. Winzip has documentation on their website and they seem to hope that other zip utilities eventually support it. But I don't believe that anyone else currently does. This certainly includes Solaris. BTW, the new Winzip extension uses AES and it supports both 128 and 256 bit encryption.

Not a solaris thing, an info-zip thing. It won't be easy to convince the info-zip people to support extensions that need encryption libraries to a program they consider among the most portable on the planet especially considering that the winzip people used info-zip to build winzip -- why can't they just release their own changes?
