Hello. I am looking for a way to create a password protected archive (or regular file) on mac os x tiger. Stuffit can extract password protected zips, but I have not found an easy way to create a password protected file. Any ideas?

Add AnswerI should be a bit more clear. I want to create a file that can be opened on a windows box too so I can email it around, or put it on a download site. Stuffit's paid version claims that it can create password protected zip files, but I would like to use a free/opensource application. Also, it needs to be 'extractable' on a pc. Thanks in advance!
You can use zip -e or zip -P from the command line. You might need to have additional encryption libraries installed, though. Also check out GnuPG - it is open source and free.
