I use Winzip Pro 10.0.6698 and create standard archives with a ZIP

create self- extracting EXE files as many company firewalls block
EXEs attached to emails.

Of course, in terms of encryption this would be utterly stupid.
Please explain what you mean.
For sensitive data, I use either 128-bit AES or 256-bit AES
encryption in Winzip.
Nah, can't be that sensitive.
Actually it is.
When my receipents do not have Winzip they find they can not open
the AES-encrypted zip file. How do I get around this? Is there a
free utility which recipients can obtain in order to only extract
files from my AES-encrypted ZIPs?
7-Zip does so. But please, stop calling the files ZIP files. This
name is commonly reserved for RFC-conformant PKZIP 2.x compatible
files.
7-Zip does not open AES-encrypted files created by Winzip which is
what I am looking for. Try it and see.
Winzip creates its archive files with the ZIP extension and that is
what I am referring to. I don't control what Winzip chooses to use
as an extension. I just refer to it.
It sounds as if you may be bringing here a point about "ZIP" you
could be better off making direct to the authors of Winzip.
