Determines whether or not a zip archive is AES encrypted or password-protected. Lianja

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// without specifying the password.  However, the contents
// of the files cannot be unzipped without providing the correct
// password.

// the old (insecure) Zip 2.0 encryption, then the
// PasswordProtect property will be .T.

// strong encrypted, and is either password-protected or
// entirely unencrypted, depending on the value of the
// PasswordProtect property.
